GENERAL OPERATIONS - PROJECT DESIGN <br /> <br />The WKWMP originally was designed to be an operational cloud seeding effort to <br />optimize precipitation and reduce crop-damaging hail over participating counties in Western and <br />Southwestern Kansas. Although its objectives have not changed over the years, slight design <br />changes have been made to better accomplish its goals. The changes made in previous years <br />were due both to technological innovations and expansion into Northwestern Kansas and <br />Northeastern Colorado. However, since the late fall of 2000, the physical portion of the design of <br />the WKWMP has brought us back to where we all began.. ,"back to square one," as the English <br />would say, As a review, Fig. 1 on page 2 shows the 2001 physical boundaries of the current <br />program. <br /> <br />In the past we've tried to be selective in deploying certain technological improvements <br />due mostly to limited annual budgets, however, beginning in 1995 major new funding sources <br />from both the Kansas Water Office and from GMD #3 (Garden City) allowed us to start making <br />more significant, long-term program improvements. The primary impetus came from the Kansas <br />Water Office funding, without which GMD #3 also would not have been able to participate, Fig. <br />3 shows the current WKWMP organizational structure and its current sources offunding. <br /> <br />WKWMP Organizational Structure <br /> <br />GMO#1 <br />Board of <br />Directors <br /> <br />GMD#1 <br />Execullve <br />Director <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lakin <br />Field HQ <br />Radar Site <br /> <br />N7611 P <br /> <br /> <br />~ N818GW l N7RQ5P I N7765P <br /> <br />Wl\.WMP Sources of Funding <br /> <br />GMD#I <br /> <br />GMDir} <br /> <br />Panicipaling <br />Counties <br />(lOl) <br /> <br />Kan~sWaler <br />Office <br /> <br /> <br />TOlal Funding <br />To WK WM? <br /> <br />Fig. 3 <br /> <br />15 <br />
