This newly revised manual incorporates pertinent background on the science and practice of weather modification by cloud seeding to augment precipitation.

Topics include

Societal, environmental, and economic aspects of precipitation enhancement by cloud seeding
Legal aspects associated with weather modification operations
Scientific basis for cloud seeding for both summer and winter clouds
Cloud seeding modes and technologies
Guidance on how to implement a cloud seeding program, and
Examples of operational cloud seeding projects and significant research programs in the western United States.

This manual will provide water resources managers with the resources to make decisions regarding the use of cloud seeding to augment water supplies.
