<br />The Southwest Drought Research Program was first announced on November 7. <br />1979. in letters to the State Governors and concerned professional groups <br />(app. B). This letter stated. "In order to ensure maximum participation and <br />benefits to the States, we request that each Governor designate a representa- <br />tive for planning purposes as we begin to develop a coordinated, responsive, <br />and technically valuable effort." On November 28. 1979. a planning meeting <br />was held in Denver, Colorado, with representatives of the following organiza- <br />tions: <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />Kansas Water Resources Board <br />North American Interstate Weather Modification Council <br />Oklahoma Climatological Survey <br />Oklahoma Water Resources Board <br />Salt River Project (Arizona) <br />Utah Division of Water Resources <br />Weather Modification Association <br /> <br />The primary conclusion of this planning meeting was that the states needed <br />special studies to help develop a sound strategy for using weather modification <br />in drought mitigation. The agreement was made that the best use of available <br />funds would be to support studies assessing the probable contribution of <br />cloud seeding to drought alleviation and the preparation of individual state <br />weather modification contingency plans that could be implemented quickly and <br />effectively. <br /> <br />The first cooperative agreement* of the Southwest Drought Research Program. <br />between the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and the Bureau. became effective <br /> <br />* The basic philosophy of the program 1s cooperation between the states and <br />the Bureau. This led to contractual arrangements in the form of cooperative <br />agreements rather than the more common contract or grant. <br /> <br />4 <br />
