Isn't there a random selection in here some <br /> <br />where? <br /> <br />A That's correct. This program, although it is <br /> <br />basically a commercial program and there is no research or <br /> <br />scientific requirement as far as the way that the program is <br /> <br />operated, it is felt that each time somewhere randomization <br /> <br />has been incorporated into weather modification program <br /> <br />designs that additional information has been learned relative <br /> <br />to the area of that program. <br /> <br />Even though the pilot project is adjacent to the <br /> <br />intended Project Area, I feel, and I have expressed this con- <br /> <br />cern to the Valley Growers, Incorporated, that I feel that <br /> <br />some portion of the storms should be kept as a sample to fur- <br /> <br />ther refine operations in the future. <br /> <br />If a sample was not kept, the technology basic- <br /> <br />ally would remain approximately status quo unless other <br /> <br />information was learned from other Programs. <br /> <br />One other thing I would like to point out is that <br /> <br />because of the smaller number, or the infrequent storm events <br /> <br />that would be considered favorable for this area, the intende <br /> <br />effect,as far as an increase in precipitation in the project <br /> <br />Area, is expected to be somewhere between three and five per <br /> <br />-17- <br />
