Nevadas Cloud Seeding Program Boosts Snowpack Amid Drought
Nevada is grappling with record-low snowpack this winter, prompting the state to rely on its revived cloud seeding program. With $600,000 in annual funding since 2023, the initiative targets four key mountain ranges to maximize snowfall from storms. The program, which had a 30-year history before funding cuts in 2009, has shown promising results, generating enough water for over 100,000 homes this season. As snow monitors hit historic lows, the program proves to be a cost-effective solution, with other states like Utah and Idaho investing millions more in similar efforts.
