Looks like tw has 22 different weather manipulation sites. I just learned of this. Did anyone know or have seen it in action?
Thoughts? It’s old tech, right? Does it really help the reservoirs? Why have I never heard of it here?
Feels like it’s been activated in overdrive the past week or two.
I remember reading about this in the news:

The WRA Northern District Branch office took advantage of favorable weather conditions to undertake the fourth artificial cloud seeding of the year. It hoped to increase the likely amount of rainfall by 10%.

The WRA took advantage of showers on Tuesday afternoon to launch cloud seeding at three local reservoirs, hoping to increase rains in the watershed
There’s even a YouTube video:
From my understanding, the practical effects of cloud seeding are often rather small, though…
