“There’s not enough moisture in the air,” Jay Famiglietti, director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, said.
Cloud seeding doesn’t create storms out of nowhere, it can only enhance existing storms.
More realistically, the extra snow that might fall as a result of cloud seeding is snow that might have fallen farther downwind of the storm, Jay Famiglietti, director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, said. So seeding isn’t creating snow so much as changing where and when it falls.
The process can only work with the moisture already in the area, Famiglietti said. And “there’s not enough moisture in the air” to make a big enough difference in the basin’s ongoing drought.” to consider, Jennifer Gimbel, senior water policy scholar at Colorado State University’s Water Center, said. If more snow is falling in the West because of cloud seeding, then people further east that might have otherwise received that snow could argue that moisture was effectively taken from them.
