Los Angeles County plans to launch an $800,000 cloud-seeding project in the San Gabriel Mountains in hopes of boosting rainfall and raising the levels at local reservoirs. The project, which will rely on injecting clouds with silver iodide particles, has won county supervisors' backing and is slated to begin this winter. Guest host David Lazarus speaks with William Saunders, Civil Engineer for Water Resources at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Chris Stone, Principal Engineer for Water Resources at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, and Roelof Bruintjes, Lead researcher on weather modification at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
