I'm not sure we're on the same wavelength here. Your statement

implies a relationship between volume of water and amount of

dissolved particles, and that was precisely my point. The idea is

that if water is being evaporated and replaced continually, then

there would be a much larger volume of water throughout the stock-

making process, hence more dissolved particles in the final stock.

The counterargument is that the total volume of water is essentially

constant at any given moment in time. I don't know enough chemistry

to say which makes more sense.
