Utah’s Division of Water Resources says that cloud seeding — a procedure that increases snowfall by injecting silver iodide into the atmosphere — adds about 200,000 acre feet of water to the state’s river system each year. But there’s a catch. Cloud seeding only works when it’s already snowing. And this winter, it’s been so dry in southeastern Utah, there were hardly enough clouds in the sky for the state to operate its new cloud seeding stations in the La Sal Mountains. The region has only received about half of the snowfall for a typical year. - Show Notes - https://water.utah.gov/cloudseeding/
