Cloud seeding money comes through for region
By Jeff Delong, Reno Gazette-Journal
Cloud seeding operations within the Lake Tahoe and Truckee River Basin can proceed this winter following action today by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority.
TMWA’s board of directors approved $155,000 to go toward cloud seeding in the Tahoe-Truckee area. The action follows an earlier action by the Western Regional Water Commission to provide up to $100,000 for cloud seeding during the winter of 2010-2011.
The money will allow the Desert Research Institute to run five cloud seeding generators in the mountains west of Tahoe.
