Cloud Seeding's Future
Nevada State Cloud Seeding Program
Nevada State Cloud Seeding Program

Can Western Nevada afford to lose a reservoir and a half of water each year? That's what could happen if budget cuts to the Nevada System of Higher Education decide to eliminate DRI's Cloud Seeding Program.

Impacts of losing DRI's Cloud Seeing Program include:

  • reduced yearly snowpack
  • reduced water storage
  • less water = less crop production
  • higher agriculture prices
  • more job losses
