<br />irreversible) anthropogenic effects on hydrological and related
<br />systems, more people seem to be appreciating the late Hall's
<br />(1971) warning that: "While we may be able to take stop-gap
<br />measures, . . . we cannot serve society honestly until hydrology
<br />is researched, understood and taught as a single system."
<br />During my recent visits to some American and Australian
<br />universities and research facilities, 1 saw many mOre examples
<br />of solid hydrological research and honest investigative mod-
<br />eling than 1 was used to seeing on similar occasions, say, 15
<br />years ago. Thus I can end this editorial on a note of cautious
<br />optimism-after all, computer games have become old hat
<br />and the generation that introduced them into hydrology has
<br />now reached the retirement age.
