<br />! <br /> <br />Willow Creek Drainage Weather Modification Program <br />(1993-94 Water Year) <br />NAWC Report WM 94-6 <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />North American Weather Consultants (NAWC) signed an agreement with the <br />Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) in August of 1992 to provide <br />support for a weather modification project over the Willow Creek drainage above Willow <br />Creek Reservoir, located in north-central Colorado. NA WC obtained a permit to operate <br />this program for the NCWCD from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. <br />NA WC meteorologists that conducted the program were also licensed by this department. <br />The NCWCD purchased 15 NA WC manufacturedground based silver iodide generators. <br />NA WC trained NCWCD personnel in the operation and maintenance of these generators <br />and helped select appropriate sites for these generators. NCWCD personnel installed and <br />maintained these generators for a program that commenced on November 1, 1992 and <br />continued through April 30, 1993 (NAWC report WM 93-12). In September of 1993 the <br />NCWCD requested that NA we again provide support in operating a cloud seeding <br />program over the Willow Creek drainage during the period of February and March 1994. <br />Preparations were made in late January for this program and operations began on <br />February I, 1994. Figure 1.1 provides the location of the project area and the 15 silver <br />iodide generator sites. <br /> <br />I-I <br />
