Dear Kutscha,

Thanks for the site link to USSBS reports. I can't tell whether or not the site has gone fallow. The "About us" and other basic links at the bottom seem to be inactive. Further, I couldn't figure out how to download the reports as reports rather than as single pages and, considering their length, the latter would be pretty laborious. What am I missing?

Regarding 17 m3, I wasn't in my mind translating it into liters. 1 m3 is a cube 1 meter on a side. A liter is 1000 cubic centimeters or 1000 milliliters and is thus a cube 10 cm on a side. There are 1000 millimeters in a meter or 100 cm in a meter. We thus have 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 liters in a cubic meter, as you say.

Regards,
Richard
