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%.
