<br />~ <br /> <br />We encourage reading and discussion of this proposal for a <br /> <br />demonstration project of water augmentation by cloud seeding <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />in the Colorado River Basin. The preliminary plan outlined <br /> <br />should not be considered a final or detailed design. Because <br /> <br />this program addresses a major question in a critical water <br /> <br />area, comments, suggestions, and criticism will be appreciated <br /> <br />and direct cooperation is solicited for developing a project <br /> <br />plan. <br /> <br />Before final commitments are made to install equipment and <br /> <br />begin cloud seeding, the results of the Colorado River Basin <br /> <br />Pilot Project will have been thoroughly reviewed, an environ- <br /> <br />mental impact statement filed, and local and state coordination <br /> <br />developed. Although final initiation decisions are scheduled <br /> <br />for 1976, with seeding beginning in 1977, the number and <br /> <br />complexity of the problems to be faced require early attention <br /> <br />of those concerned. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Archie M.
