# Making it rain: Why more and more countries are turning to cloud seeding. * Countries are increasingly embracing the controversial practice of cloud seeding as global water demand continues to rise. * Iran recently sprayed clouds with chemicals as part of a push to boost rainfall to tackle the country’s worst drought in decades, while India unsuccessfully experimented with cloud seeding to combat air pollution in Delhi. Augustus Doricko, CEO of Rainmaker, a California-based cloud seeding company, said there are two dynamics at play that seem to be rekindling people's interest in the technology — both in the U.S. and across the world. Yet, despite its name, Doricko said the company's cloud seeding projects are mostly designed to make it snow. "The other concept of why more countries may be embracing cloud seeding technologies is that it's currently one of the only options to enhance increasingly stressed localized water resources or help mitigate regional air pollution by using Earth's natural atmospheric systems as a viable water source," McDonough said.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Nevada and Utah are using cloud seeding operations in attempts to stretch their natural water supplies through weather modification technology. The Desert Research Institute operates cloud seeding at strategic sites throughout the West, supported by state funding within Nevada. In 2023, the Nevada State Legislature unanimously passed funding for a statewide cloud seeding project, appropriating $1.2 million over two years to DRI. Researchers from the University of Utah and Utah State University are using laser-based technology to examine clouds and storm evolution with the goal of seeding storms and increasing winter snowpack. Long-term evaluations of cloud seeding programs suggest the technology makes a difference, showing “about a six to twelve percent increase in precipitation which may not sound like a lot but when you translate that over the course of a decade, that’s an additional half year to a year of snowpack,” explained Jonathan Jennings, a meteorologist with the Utah Division of Water Resources.

## Planned Weather Modification through Cloud Seeding. One tool available for mitigating some of these weather impacts is planned weather modification through cloud seeding. Planned weather modification programs benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the physical processes responsible for desired modification effects. Recent improvements in the composition and techniques for dispersion of seeding agents, observational technology, numerical cloud models, and in physical understanding of cloud processes permit ever more detailed design and targeting of planned weather modification effects, and more accurate specification of the range of anticipated responses. Rigorous attention to evaluation of both operational and research programs is needed to help develop more effective procedures and to improve understanding of the effects of cloud seeding. Weather modification techniques other than cloud seeding have been used in various areas of the world for short periods of time to achieve goals similar to those of cloud seeding. 1) Efforts should continue to improve understanding of the targeted cloud and precipitation processes in planned modification.

Weather Modification can be both planned, as is the case in cloud seeding, or inadvertent, for example, when pollution affects visibility. Planned (deliberate) weather modification is also commonly know as cloud seeding, cloud modification, or atmospheric water management. Cloud seeding, or commonly referred to as weather modification, is the treatment of individual clouds or cloud systems in an attempt to achieve a desired beneficial effect, including fog and hail mitigation, and additional precipitation in the form of either rain or snow. Published scientific literature clearly shows no environmentally harmful effects arising from cloud seeding with silver iodide (AgI) aerosols have been observed, nor would they be expected to occur. Based on this work, the WMA finds silver iodide is environmentally safe as it is currently being used in the conduct of cloud seeding programs. **In order to become certified, you must be a member of the Weather Modification Association.**.
