Sinopsis

Discover how California tracked weather modification in the 1960s and its impact on water resources.

This nonfiction report presents a concise summary of weather modification projects conducted in California from October 1963 through September 1964. It compiles completion reports submitted by project operators and explains how the Department of Water Resources collected, summarized, and published data on seeding operations, equipment, and participating personnel. The edition uses maps and plates to illustrate target areas and operation days, offering a clear view of the scale and scope of these efforts.
