We believe now convinced that the geoENV convention sequence, seeded round a espresso desk virtually six years in the past, will march firmly into the following century.

How much salt is there in the catchment? The questions are usually in the context of a particular defined region, and the answers desired are global: the questionner wants a global mean (with some indication of error); he wants a single value that represents the soil's condition in the region. Alternatively he might want to know the total amount of salt in a catchment. Dimmock et al. (1974), for example, were concerned to know how much salt might leak out of catchments in Western Australia if the forest were replaced by agriculture.
