necessary. An involvement plan should be developed in consultation with appropriate Federal, State, and <br />local agencies, plus interested and affected individuals and groups. A group of local citizens should be <br />established to assist in scoping environmental issues and serve as a communications link to the public. <br />After recent knowledge gains in winter orographic cloud seeding, it is believed that a well designed and <br />managed program can now be implemented in some watersheds of the West to produce cost effective <br />additional water resources. In the proposed program, cloud seeding would target additional water for <br />high elevations that supply water to the North Platte River. Additional snowfall from seeding accrues <br />unprotected at high elevations. Estimated benefits to particular habitats will be determined in other <br />studies. Clearly, additional water from successful cloud seeding can help satisfy increasing water supply <br />demand and environmental water needs in areas of the West. Clean- source additional water can improve <br />water quality and supplement domestic needs and uses of industry and recreation. Minimum streamflows <br />can be improved for fish and wildlife. <br />1 <br />1 <br />r <br />viii I <br />
