# Contrails, cloud seeding, geoengineering and chemtrails. What surprised me even more, though it probably shouldn’t have, was the widespread confusion between contrails and cloud seeding. Today, I want to explain the differences between contrails, cloud seeding, and geoengineering, what they are, how they work, and why they are often misunderstood. Cloud seeding does not create clouds or precipitation from clear skies. For that reason, cloud-seeding aircraft operate *within or near existing storm systems*, not in dry, cloud-free air. I searched extensively for examples of cloud-seeding aircraft producing trails that resemble high-altitude contrails and could not find any. The first scientific cloud-seeding experiments were conducted in 1946 by American meteorologist Vincent J. Today, peer-reviewed research indicates that cloud seeding can increase precipitation by approximately 5% to 15% under the right conditions. After years of field experiments, laboratory research, and modeling, NOAA scientists concluded that hurricanes could not be controlled or meaningfully altered through cloud seeding. **Here’s the bottom line on cloud seeding:**.

## 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.

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).

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.

# 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.
