The collection of transfer- <br />ability data in the remaining subbasins will be continued <br />also. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Cloud seeding is one of several resource management tools <br />available to meet the Basin's water augmentation needs. Its <br />adoption does not preclude continued planning and development <br />of other augmentation alternatives or lessen the commitment <br />of th~ Department and the Bureau to improved .w.ater c.on"servCl- <br />tion practices. However, the cloud seeding alternative has <br />many unique and attractive features. Currently, it appears <br />to be the most cost-effective means for securing additional <br />water in the Basin. It does not require major permanent <br />construction or large fixed operation and maintenance <br />costs. Moreover, a decision to employ cloud seeding is <br />reversible on a year-to-year basis, or even on a storm-to- <br />storm basis within a season, should Basin hydrology, weather <br />patterns, or public response dictate. <br /> <br />II.
