Rain Enhancement Technology's site in the La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah is powered by solar panels. Rain Enhancement Technology's site in the La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah is powered by solar panels. Rain Enhancement Technologies, a company that's operated in Oman, doesn't use traditional cloud-seeding methods, which are characterized by putting silver iodide particles into the atmosphere. Morris said Rain Enhancement Technologies' approach is unique because their strategy allows them to boost precipitation year-round—not just in the winter, as is typically the case for traditional cloud seeding. Currently, RET has two projects in the Mountain West: one targeting farmland in Weld County, Colorado, and another in the La Sal Mountains in Utah, southwest of Moab. Leaders from the Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, and San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs urging approval of the Northern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement.

Based on its findings, Stanford University ecologist Jerry Bradley said: "I think you can squeeze out a little more snow or rain in some places under some conditions, but that's quite different from a program claiming to reliably increase precipitation." Data similar to that of the NAS study was acquired in a separate study conducted by the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project, but whereas the NAS study concluded that "it is difficult to show clearly that cloud seeding has a very large effect", the WWMPP study concluded that "seeding could augment the snowpack by a maximum of 3% over an entire season.". In 2016, Jeff Tilley, director of weather modification at the Desert Research Institute in Reno, claimed that new technology and research has produced reliable results that make cloud seeding a dependable and affordable water supply practice for many regions. **^** "Weather Modification Association (WMA) Position on the Environmental Impact of using Silver Iodide as a Cloud Seeding Agent" (PDF).

April Showers weather climate rain storm water drops. Various schemes have been employed to modify the electrical nature of clouds and the occurrence of cloud-to-ground lightning. Research has shown that by releasing large quantities of ions near the ground, it is possible to influence the electric properties of small cumulus clouds. Potential lightning storms were seeded heavily with silver iodide nuclei. There have been cloud-seeding projects aimed at reducing hail damage. Such a procedure, called overseeding, is not considered practical because of the large quantities of material needed to seed the clouds over an area great enough to have an appreciable effect. On Aug. 18 and 20, 1969, Hurricane Debbie was seeded as a part of Project Stormfury, a series of hurricane-modification experiments conducted by the Environmental Science Services Administration and the U.S. Navy. When air moves against a mountain slope, it is forced to rise, and as a result clouds and precipitation often are produced.

A DRI researcher working on a cloud-seeding generator perched in the Sierra Nevada mountains. An old C-45 plane in 1966 that DRI researchers used to seed clouds. *Above: An old Beechcraft C-45 plane that DRI researchers used to seed clouds in 1966. His focus on the behavior of ice in the atmosphere led to the discovery of a key mechanism for the transition of water molecules into ice, which is now known as the “Hallett-Mossop ice multiplication mechanism.” DRI continues to be a leader in cloud-seeding efforts and research around the Western U.S. A comprehensive review of available research published in 2019 concluded “clear physical evidence has been obtained that orographic clouds containing supercooled water, when seeded with silver iodide, produce plumes of ice particles that originate downwind of the seeding location and reach the ground through precipitation growth and fallout.”. No. DRI’s cloud-seeding program supplements the precipitation in existing storms, which can help alleviate the impacts of drought in targeted areas.
