In its fourth year, Wyoming’s $8.8 million cloud-seeding experiment is drawing big-time attention

The Wyoming project isn’t the biggest cloud-seeding operation in the world. But, scientifically, it just may be the most important.

Boe is one of several scientists working on the five-year Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project, an $8.8 million research program funded by the state of Wyoming. The project’s scientists, along with state water managers, hope to find proof of whether the decades-old practice of seeding clouds — trying to squeeze more precipitation out of passing storms — actually works and that it’s a practical option for increasing the state’s water supply.
