Weather Modification
Weather Modification
The District participates in the Rolling Plains Water Improvement Program of the West Texas Weather modification Association. This program is designed to enhance precipitation across the District utilizing state of the art cloud seeding techniques.
The benefits of this program are numerous and include increased water available for crops, livestock, and potable water. The amount of additional precipitation that occurs over the District varies with the weather patterns but is on the order of 70,000 acre feet per year. This represents a return on investment of nearly 4:1.
