Source: Responses to the questionnaire administered to SJEP investigators by Benton & Melman in ~id-1975
(Append 1x A).

Questions condensed from the actual form used.

All questions were scored by each respondent on a scale with 7 classes. The modal reaponse is the one used
most frequently by respondents. For range of modal response classes, see Appendix A.

Values in parentheses are for the modal class and the two adjacent ones.

'Split responses', e.g. effective/ineffective, indicate a response intermediate between the t~o described
classes.

As shown In Figure I, SJEP was composed of two parts
(Phases I and II) which barely overlapped in time.
Phase 1 was a period of literature survey and prob-
lem analysis. Phase II {for vhich this is the
final report) encompassed research and impact
evaluation. Since the same vorkera were, with
few exceptions, involved in both phases of the
project, an obvious source of biaa was introduced
to the definition of ecological problems. An
attempt was made to minimize this bias by subjecting

research proposals from Phase I to external review
by the Bureau of Reclamation and by a group of con-
sultants employed by the SJEP Steering Committee.

A total of 27 projects were proposed during Phase
of which 14 were finally funded. Two different
approaches were taken in soliciting proposals on the
two main university campuses. At CSU. ecosystem
components that might prove susceptible to cloud
seeding were defined by a modified matrix approach.
