Hmm, looks like you've given this a little more thought than I have.
Having to harvest plants for water sounds like a good thing to
incorporate. And large islands could have streams by the way you
described. Thanks! For water they could also collect rain during storms
and such; the salt doesn't evaporate with the water, does it (I can't
remember???? :-(.

Sorry, I didn't know if there was another Scott and just to make sure I
copied it directly from your address when I got your message.
