REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Federal Weather Modification Efforts

Need Congressional Attention





Although the Federal Government has sup-
ported weather modification programs for
more than 30 years, a coordinated Federal
approach to these programs has never been
established. Numerous studies have cited the
need for coordination, including a GAO study
in 1974.

In this report, GAO uses rainfall augmenta-
tion projects to illustrate problems of weather
modification programs. Lack of integrated
formal planning and coordination has hin-
dered the progress of these projects.  Al-
though progress has been made, critical ques-
tions remain.


The Congress should define national weather
modification research and development policy
and direct that a program be developed with
goals, objectives, priorities, and milestones.
The Congress should designate one agency to
administer, maintain, and control the pro-
gram.
