Southwest Hydrology Cloud Seeding Issue: The March/April 2007 issue features articles about cloud seeding on pages 16-29 and is included in the board member notebook providing a great overview of recent advancement and unanswered questions around the topic. Articles included are: the basic types of seeding, a management and feasibility perspective to Upper Colorado River Basin seeding, air pollution (inadvertent weather modification) vs. intentional seeding (advertent weather modification), weather modification law, results from the Wyoming experiment, research needed, the U.S. Congressional Bills to authorize and fund research, and a map of the western state's current programs. Staff believes this is a good primer for the board to start thinking about the CWCB/s weather modification permitting program and the Colorado River Negotiations and provide guidance as to the state's role and future directions. Staff will bring forward a board memo and draft board weather modification policy for consideration. It will also be pertinent to include a discussion of the statutes and rules and regulations and statutes sunset provision for program guidance and clarification.
