Of course I expect the water production rate from discharging to be equal to the actually observed amounts. But that probably is not what you want to know. If you give me a couple of days, I should be able to come up with something useful.

I don't think water molecules generate the tail (I assume you mean the ion tail), I think I read somewhere that the ion tail is mostly ionised CO.

I'm not sure I understand this, what exactly has been demonstrated for the conventional model?
