<br />OOO~"'A <br />Jo; <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />precipitation in many areas at a cost substantially less than the value <br />of the water obtained. <br /> <br />Seventeen major research and experimental activities in 11 states are <br /> <br /> <br />involved in this initial program. The location and status of these efforts <br /> <br /> <br />are indicated in Figure 3. <br /> <br />Contracts or subcontracts for research projects are now in effect with <br /> <br /> <br />nine educational institutions, five private meteorological organizations, <br /> <br /> <br />and one state agency. A regional research center has been established <br /> <br /> <br />in embryonic form at South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. <br /> <br /> <br />In addition, memorandums of understanding exist between the Bureau <br /> <br /> <br />of Reclamation and the Geological Survey, the Soil Conservation Sepv- <br /> <br /> <br />ice, the Forest Service, the Weather Bureau, and the U. S. Naval <br /> <br /> <br />Ordnance Test Station at China Lake, California. The National Science <br /> <br /> <br />Foundation and the National Center for Atmospheric Research are also <br /> <br /> <br />cooperating with the program. <br /> <br /> <br />This initial program has provided an improtant start in developing a <br />technology to increase the yield of water from the atmosphere. The <br />plan outlined in this report is a logical extension in scope and magni- <br />tude of the initial program. <br /> <br /> <br />~l{~.~ <br />~~:~'i'''''h'~~ <br />l:1i~~;~-- <br /> <br />-- --..... . <br />~~rf..::?i':ii: <br />~\~;~ .:)::;;)i <br />".-'-""-'-".""-.- <br /> <br /> <br />.~;~~~lf]ll~IIIt.'ltl_~dj <br /> <br />19 <br />
