The <br />Water Agency's goals include promoting a safe and adequate waler supply for the citizens and <br />agriculture of the area. The Santa Barbara regional weather modification program is designed to <br />increase precipitation over designated target area'i by introducing ice nuclei into supcr-cookd <br />cloud mass from both the ground and by air (see Figure I, below). The target area') an:: (I) <br />Bradbury Dam/Cachu013 Reservoir area, and (2) the lIua'ina-Alamo watersheds that arc the <br />westernmost part of the Twitchell Dam watershed. Incrca'icd rainfall benefits other areas \\'ithin <br />the County as well. Santa Barbara County is well suited for ground seeding with mountains <br />along the coast having elevations from 1500 to 4000 feet, allowing the ground-based release of <br />ice nuclei at heights where updraft and instability commonly exist during froOlal passage in mid- <br /> <br />~Ij, <br /> <br /> <br />L, <br /> <br />l\.'t".lthcr lJam-wr.\!l1l.hfic,ltil1n 1'n"'K.Jm J <br />
