It’s not happening yet in Arizona, but there is potential for squeezing more rain and snow out of clouds to fight drought.
TUCSON, Ariz. — It’s not happening yet in Arizona, but cloud seeding is already making an impact in the state.
A CAP study that began in 2007 in partnership with Wyoming agencies found the practice to be effective there, adding to the water that eventually flows into Arizona via the Colorado River. The Associated Press reports even more investment there, including a new $2.4 million federal grant… and more than $14 million in next year’s Utah state budget.
But would cloud seeding work on clouds in Arizona? The discussion has gained momentum in recent years. But Walter says there still needs to be more measurements in the clouds to see if they match model data from the initial report. He says there also needs to be community education and discussion as well as approved permits before a trial program can get off the ground.
