<br />preAented in Tables 4 and 5 (the tables mentioned above), perhaps <br /> <br />~ <br />to) <br />...... <br />CJl <br /> <br />it is. <br /> <br />The use of weather modification as an effective resource <br /> <br />management tool remains a rather remote possibility. In ~ recent <br /> <br />report of the Statistical '['ask Force to tte .1eatherModification <br /> <br />Advisory Board it was concluded that in those programs it reviewed <br /> <br />results were equivocal at best and in some cases negative outcomes <br />were statistically significant.~/ (In particular the Colorado <br /> <br />River Basin pilot project and Climax II were criticized.) Given <br /> <br />the state of weather modification efforts the Forum cannot expect <br /> <br />much help from this quarter in its efforts to control Colorado <br /> <br />River salinity. <br /> <br />Concluding Comment <br />Given the shortcomings I see in ilie report and the <br /> <br />shortcomings the Forum admits in the salinity control program, I <br /> <br /> <br />would make only one more remark. In order to c:ontrol salinity in <br /> <br />the Colorado system more attention must be given to tohe largest <br /> <br />man-made source~-irrigated agriculture. Nonstructural agricultur- <br /> <br />al options are' attractive because they appear to be less expensive, <br />more effective,. and perhaps less environmentally disruptive. The <br /> <br />capital intensive program to which the Bureau of Reclamation is <br /> <br />committed will not allow the basin states (that make up the Forum) <br /> <br />to meet even the rather lax standards with which they are faced. <br /> <br />~/ The Management of Weather Resources (Volume II): The <br />Role of Statistics in .Weather Resources Management, Report of the <br />Statistical Task Force to the Weather Modification Advisory Board, <br />Washington, D.C.
