this is why all the climate doomers will be wrong. we will be able to engineer our way out of a lot of our climate problems > Rainmaker just became the first company to prove it had created extra rain and snow in Alaska > in just three hours,...

Roughly one in 10 Americans gets their water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up due to a persistent drought driven in part by climate change. The crisis has been building for decades, but will likely come to a head this summer, as the past winter was brutally warm. The heavy snow that was supposed to fall on the Mountain West and slowly melt, sending water down into rivers and reservoirs, never happened. "Simply put, the basin is not producing the water supply that all of our states anticipated decades ago," California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot told Horizons host William Brangham. "So we all anticipated and planned for and built infrastructure to use more water than is currently available." The Colorado River has slipped to record low levels, threatening the water supply for 40 million people across seven western states — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, California and Nevada. But the crisis is not just about water; it's also about electricity. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, two reservoirs on the river, are also nearing record lows. The man-made lakes generate hydroelectric power for millions. In February, the seven Colorado River basin states failed to reach a new agreement on how to share the river's dwindling resources. The federal government is threatening to impose its own plan. Joel Ferry, the commissioner of Utah's Department of Natural Resources, called it a "solvable problem," and said the seven state governors are working with the federal government to find solutions. "Ultimately, this is something that both our political leaders and the water users have got to come together to find a creative solution," he said.

We can refill the Great Salt Lake. This month, Rainmaker began the largest cloud seeding project in modern American history. With Utah and Idaho, we are enhancing snowpack across 7,500 square miles of the Bear River Basin. Rainmaker Technology Corporation deployed a fleet of specialized cloud seeding drones, boutique meteorological sensors, and radar across the region. Our dozens of mountaineering Forward Operating Specialists, many of whom were born in Utah, are working around the clock with this hardware to do one thing: make snow. We do so not merely for better powder days at Rocky Mountain ski resorts. We're working to producing freshwater for over a million people in the region. Their farms, ranches, industry, and even their homes need more water. Due to decreasing natural precipitation and increased demand for water, the Great Salt Lake is in a deficit of ~400 billion gallons annually. If it continues to dry, not only will Utah and Idaho's economic growth stall and fall, but toxic arsenic particulate from the exposed lakebed will go airborne and cause asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer throughout the region. Economizing water us is part of what it means to be a good steward of our God given resources, but reducing consumption alone will not suffice. We must make more water, so Rainmaker Technology Corporation will make more snow. With the research-grade radar, constellation of sensors, and 3rd party assessment from academic institutions, Rainmaker Technology Corporation is bringing rigor and physical measurement of our results that is unprecedented in operational cloud seeding history. Forecasting the weather is difficult, let alone modifying it, and we will face challenges throughout this winter. But, Rainmakers will work diligently and unrelentingly to bring water to the American people and environment across the Bear River Basin. And, we will continue to do so even after we have secured abundant freshwater for generations to come. As the season progresses, we'll update you on our progress. Thank you to our partners in Utah and Idaho, particularly the state meteorologist, Governor Cox , and Brad Little . Thank you to the Rainmakers (and their families!) that have worked so hard to standup this project. Blessing to work with you all. Lets make it snow.

Yorkshire, starting on Friday 11 July, a temporary use ban (TUB), which is a restriction on the use of hosepipes, will come into effect. This will help our region’s reservoir levels recover and protect Yorkshire's water resources throughout the summer months, following one of the driest springs on record and the region being in drought. We've tried everything possible to avoid these restrictions, and despite our customers' help to save water where they can and our efforts to manage water resources, including adding an extra 100 people to our leakage team and upgrading our infrastructure to reduce leaks and bursts, the dry weather and warmer-than-usual temperatures have increased demand. We have supplied an additional 4.3 billion litres of water between April and June compared to a typical year - that's enough to supply Leeds for five weeks. This has left our reservoirs more depleted than expected and lower than average for this time of year. As a result, we’re kindly asking everyone to please put their hosepipes away for a bit. We understand you may have some questions about the restrictions. You can find detailed FAQs, including activities covered by the hosepipe restrictions and who would be exempt from it, on our website at or watch the video below to see how this might affect you. The restrictions will be in place until the region has seen significant rainfall to bring reservoirs and groundwater stocks back to where they need to be. This may last into the winter months, but rest assured, we will lift it as soon as we are able to. We’re really grateful to everyone who has been saving water where they can this year, and we kindly ask that you please continue to do so to help ensure there’s enough water for everyone in Yorkshire this summer and beyond. Thank you for your understanding. 💙

🚨 “Utah is planning on taking water away from farmers and ranchers right now” “They are currently writing new legislation that is going to put new regulations on farmers and ranchers water use — We need your help. We need to save the farmers and ranchers” “The verbiage in the bill is that they are going to require them to use less water, water that has been already granted to them from generations past, or they're going to require them to use more water saving technologies. But who is going to pay for that? It sure as hell isn't going to be the legislators, it's not going to be the senators, it's not going to be the governor. It's going to be the taxpayers and the farmers and ranchers who are going to have to equip for this. So right now we need your help. We need you to call all of the state senators, we need to call all the city offices, we need to send as many emails as we possibly can. Leave the farmers out of this bill. There should be no reason that they're included in this whatsoever —- So if you guys can please make the calls, please send the emails. We need your help.” ‘The Utah farmers and ranchers truly need your help. We barely have enough water as it is to raise our crops to feed and grow our animals. If there is any more regulation, we will lose more and more and more of our family farms and ranches. They will not be able to survive this. This is just a stepping stone and if it happens in one place, it will continue to happen all across the nation please if you can share with your family and friends please leave your comments below. We need your help.”
