Happy World Water Day!

Cloud Seeding

Cloud Seeding chemical generators that shoot the silver iodide in the air. 

When I first heard "cloud seeding" sounded like something from science fiction.  I recently learned  that the Los Angeles Department of Public Works used this in our most recent rain storm. So what is cloud seeding, it is a way to manipulate cloud condensation to produce more rain. The Manipulation is done by dispensing silver iodide in to the atmosphere. This practice has been around since the 1950's. More information  here and here. This boost rainfall by 15%.

Community Gardens /Capstone Planning

Here are the site locations for the installation of the rain barrels.  As this project progresses, I will have more information about the sites. Each site represents a different economic section of Los Angeles County.

Raining and sprinkles are on

On March 6, Los Angeles received its share of a  cold storm system that dropped rain and snow. On  Monday a there was a severe thunderstorm and flash flood warnings for most of the day. And this person still decides to have their sprinklers are on. An example of how it is crucial we change our relationship with water.
