<br />IV <br /> <br />runoff for irrigation, domestic and industrial use <br />during periods of low inflow. The potential water <br />supply capable of alleviating water shortages is <br />carried in -the atmosphere. <br />The Bureau of Reclamation has engaged, through <br />contracts with research firms, universities, and tech- <br />nical schools, the services of many scientists and engi- <br />neers in the fields of weather-modification research. <br />The Bureau of Reclamation, with its well-staffed <br />engineering organization, is managing and coordi- <br />nating this widespread research effort. A list of <br />reports by research engineering firms and institu- <br />tions participating under contracts in the Bureau <br /> <br />PREFACE <br /> <br />of Reclamation's atmospheric water resources re- <br />search program follows this preface. <br />The work of the National Science Foundatio~, <br />the National Center for Atmospheric Research, th,e <br />U.S. Weather Bureau, and other Government agen- <br />cies in this program is recognized. <br />This report was prepared primarily for the tech- <br />nical staffs of the Bureau of Reclamation, other <br />public agencies, private research firms, as well as <br />universities and technical schools. The report will <br />also be of interest to those concerned in the progress <br />and development of the atmospheric water resources <br />program and its practical application to our future <br />water supply. <br />
