... but, if I were you, I would turn the argument on its head and explain the influemnce of GW on rainfall patterns (as I suggested in Post 72). In that way it's an integral part of the Entry and not a 'bolt on'.

BigAl - I already stated that the Entry is getting too big, and with all this factual information is starting to lose some of the fun I intended it to be. I will see what I can do, but I don't want the piece to end up being too scientific.

Well, the point is that, with sections such as 'The Science of Precipitation' and 'Acid Rain', it is a complete nonsense to completely ignore arguably the most important influence on predicted changing rainfall patterns. (You could practically include the information I'm asking for without unduly affecting the length by rationalising that convoluted sentence I mentioned earlier

I'm not going to win here am I? 
Alright, alright, you can put the soapbox away, I'll see what I can do.

Ok, think I've done it - in the 'Where Does It Rain' section.
