Utah now runs world’s largest remote-controlled cloud seeding program
Utah’s expansion of cloud seeding is starting to provide a return on investment, water policymakers were told Thursday. “Statewide average is 10.4% increase in snowpack,” said Jake Serago, an engineer with the Utah Division of Water Resources, during a presentation to the state’s water resources board on Thursday. … The Utah State Legislature pumped a massive amount of cash into cloud seeding earlier this year in an effort to help mitigate impacts from drought. The state’s cloud seeding budget went from roughly $200,000 in 2022 to nearly $16 million this year.
