Surrounding states have invested even more. Utah recently allocated $16 million for cloud seeding. And the federal Bureau of Reclamation provided a nearly $2.5 million grant for cloud seeding operations in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming aimed at increasing the levels in Lake Mead, which is fed primarily by the Colorado River. … “We did a review of those [cloud seeding projects], and we found that the vast majority of them had missing information, incorrect information,” she [Karen Howard, director of science and technology assessment at the Government Accountability Office] said.
