Thirteen arc-ty-pe silver iodide generators <br />\,;ere placed "t various sites aroillld the ].,roject - sites chosen pri- <br />marily- on the basis of e:::pected "indflo\'1 patterns associated IInth <br />precipitation-bearing storm" and topography, but affected to some <br />extent by- availability of generator operators. The generators were <br />. <br />operated by local residents h'ho lIere selected and trained in our <br />procedures by our company representative.
