<br />ORA F T <br /> <br />SECTION IV - PLANNING PHASE HISTORY AND GENERAL <br />PROGRAM APPROACH <br /> <br />This section reviews the research and planning activities to date for <br />weather modification in the Colorado River. These activities form an <br />important part of the background of this conceptual plan. <br /> <br />Research Projects Background <br /> <br />Five major winter research and recent operational cloud seeding <br />programs in the Colorado River region contributed directly to the <br />development of technology. <br /> <br />1. The National Science Foundation sponsored research experiments <br />by Colorado State University at Climax, Colorado, during the <br />1960's. <br /> <br />;2. The operational research funded by the State of Colorado <br />during the 1960's at several mountain passes, particularly Wolf <br />Creek Pass in the San Juan mountains. <br /> <br />3. The Bureau of Reclamation sponsored experiments in the Park <br />Range near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, during the late 1960's. <br /> <br />4.
