In 2011, the news in the Rocky Mountains was;
With a large portion of the West receiving above-average snowfall this past winter, water levels at Lake Powell are approaching the highest they have been in the last 10 yrs.

Yet an actual satellite image of Lake Powell, a very important lake along the Colorado River, which feeds the west coast with their water, should be a wake up call.
But look at the most current picture of Lake Powell.
So, why is the snowpack at normal or even above normal levels, yet the water content is increasingly less.
The 111 cloud-seeding cannons — or ice nuclei generators — positioned across the state are today powered by a wider-than-ever array of interests.
Since 2006, the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the California Six Agency Committee and the Central Arizona Conservation District have funded about half of the state’s cloud-seeding efforts, matching the nearly $1 million the Colorado Water Conservation District has paid since launching its formal cloud-seeding grant program in 2004.
Newer, more-efficient machines — designed by Nevada’s Desert Research Institute and funded in part by the CWCB — were installed this fall in the Fraser River Valley on the Grand Mesa and in the southern San Juans. The new, remotely controlled generators seed silver iodide at a much heavier rate

We seek to be the world’s scientific leader investigating the effects of natural and human-induced environmental change and advancing environmental technologies aimed at assessing a changing planet. We will achieve this vision by increasing scientific knowledge and understanding of the earth’s environment, promoting preservation of diverse ecosystems, advancing responsible resource management, and improving human health and welfare.
Well, if you spray silver iodide, which is silver salt, it’s going to wick up the water. That’s why the Rockies forests are dying and fires are happening, all of which heads East from hear, so who knows what it’s doing to the plains and even all the way out to the East Coast.
