Making it rain: Cloud seeding effort aims to bring more water to Red Rock Canyon
Nevada and other states in the Colorado River Basin continue to face a water crisis. Drought has stretched on for more than two decades and is compounded by the effects of climate change. Last year, Lake Mead dipped to an all-time low. Can human intervention make a difference? Can we get more desperately needed water from the clouds to the ground? FOX5 went on a journey seeking an answer to that question up to Mt. Potosi where a cloud seeding generator is located. Cloud seeding is something that’s been done for decades but the generator, which specifically targets Red Rock Canyon, was only set up last fall. It all started with one Blue Diamond resident’s idea.
