Summary

"Guidelines for Cloud Seeding to Augment Precipitation, Second Edition, provides practical details of what is involved in using cloud seeding technology to augment precipitation. This Manual of practice incorporates pertinent background on the science and practice of weather modification. The sections of this manual include the societal, environmental, and economic aspects of precipitation enhancement by cloud seeding; legal aspects associated with weather modification operations; scientific basis of the science of precipitation enhancement; and cloud seeding modes and instrumentation, and the status of precipitation enhancement technology. Also included is an executive summary, which deals with the complex issues that arise with the development and application of the cloud seeding technology and the summary of how to implement a cloud seeding project. It is intended to provide water resources managers and others with the information and references needed for decision making regarding the use of cloud seeding to augment available water supplies."--BOOK JACKET.
