Jan 20, 2024 · Southern California water officials are testing out cloud seeding in an effort to increase the region's water supply. The four-year pilot program launched in November with an aim to increase...
Feb 22, 2024 · With two recent back-to-back atmospheric rivers slamming Southern California this month, the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority has been in a holding pattern with its cloud seeding...
Mar 16, 2021 · Interest in cloud seeding is growing as temperatures steadily rise, increasing drought risks in places like the Mountain West. But there’s a catch.
May 3, 2024 · A California Department of Water Resources evaluation of cloud seeding from last year says it’s “generally understood” that it can increase water supply by 4 to 15 percent but that individual...
Feb 24, 2024 · When a water agency for most of California’s Inland Empire and parts of Orange County started a pilot program to seed clouds in the region in November to see if it could increase water supplies,...
Jan 14, 2024 · New 4-year cloud-seeding pilot program hopes to make it rain in Santa Ana River watershed. An illustration shows how releasing silver iodide particles into storm clouds maximizes precipitation...
Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification used to increase the amount of precipitation, including snow or rain, during the storm season. This process works through releasing particles of silver iodide into clouds, which increase the chances of droplet condensation.
Mar 10, 2016 · The process of weather modification through cloud seeding has been proven successful at increasing rainfall rates, but also at lessening potential hail damage from storms and even to clear fog...
Oct 30, 2022 · Cloud seeding research proves the practice can increase snowpack by 3-10%, but can't be seen as a drought cure yet
Nov 12, 2013 · As practiced in California and elsewhere in the West, cloud seeding involves spraying fine particles of silver iodide into a cloud system to increase snowfall that is already underway...
