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.

# 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:**.

Companies that intend to engage in weather modification activities within the United States are required by the Weather Modification Act of 1976 (15 Code of Federal Regulations § 908) to provide a report to the Administrator of NOAA at least 10 days prior to undertaking the activity. Those reports are filed via the email address weather.modification@noaa.gov and may be found at the the bottom of this page. All weather modification projects must be reported via the appropriate email address (weather.modification@noaa.gov) prior to being implemented. * 17-4 - Initial Report on Weather Modification Activities (Approved Information collection 0684-0025). Please submit reports via email to weather.modification@noaa.gov. NOAA does not regulate cloud seeding activities but does collect information on such activities performed in the U.S. through the requirements for reporting in the Weather Modification and Reporting Act. Please see our full MAINTAINING RECORDS AND SUBMITTING REPORTS ON WEATHER MODIFICATION ACTIVITIES for more information or you can contact the NOAA Weather Modification Team at weather.modification@noaa.gov.

# 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.
