The Sierra Ecology Project, Volume II: Workshop IV: An Evaluation of Possible Effects of Weather Modification on Hydrologic Processes in the American River Basin, California. Workshop V: An Evaluation of Possible Effects of Weather Modification on Lake and Stream Biota in the American river Basin, California

摘要

The possible effects of the Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project (SCPP) cloud seeding research program on the American River Basin environment were analyzed at two workshops. In Workshop IV, six scientists evaluated possible direct and indirect effects of a weather modification pilot project on hydrologic processes, including inputs of sediments and nutrients, in the American River watershed. In Workshop V, scientists evaluated possible effects of the program on lake and stream biota in the basin and made research and monitoring recommendations.
