Cloud Seeding In The San Gabriel Mountains
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.

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.
