The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is granting $2.4 million for cloud seeding in the Upper Colorado River Basin. abc15
The Southern Nevada Water Authority on Thursday voted to accept a $2.4 million grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to fund cloud seeding in other Western states whose rivers feed the parched desert region.
"This money from Reclamation is wonderful, we just have to decide how exactly it’s going to benefit us," said Andrew Rickert, who coordinates Colorado's cloud seeding for the Colorado Water Conservation Board.The federal funding will go toward upgrading manual generators to ones that can be remotely operated, and using planes to seed clouds in key parts of the Upper Colorado River Basin, according to Southern Nevada Water Authority documents for its board meeting.
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming spend between about $1 million and $1.5 million a year for cloud seeding. Utah's legislature recently expanded their investment in cloud seeding programs in next year’s state budget, allocating more than $14 million.Since 2007, various groups have helped fund cloud seeding in Upper Basin states. In 2018, several entities, including the Southern Nevada Water Authority, began to formally fund those efforts, collectively contributing about $1.5 million annually.
