ABSTRACT <br /> The purpose, scope and environmental impacts of Project Skywater, the <br /> Bureau of Reclamation's research program in cloud seeding for enhanced <br /> precipitation, are presented in the format of a final programmatic <br /> environmental statement. Two numerical ratings are given for each I <br /> I <br /> potential impact, applicable to the research program and the other , <br /> one <br /> applicable if the technology being developed by Project Skywater is <br /> applied in a long-term, continuous and widespread mode. The environ- <br /> mental effects of the research program generally are described as in- <br /> significant, if detectab Ie. Research to date indicates effects of wide- <br /> spread application of the technology under development would be <br /> significant over agricultural lands and generally insignificant in <br /> mountainous regions. <br />17.
