Rainmaking Controversy On Border
The Scott City Kansas rainmaking project faces criticism from Colorado and Kansas officials as thunderstorms last week sparked claims of credited rainfall. Officials say initial seeding produced no measurable rain and that wind direction limited impact. The program, costlier this year at about $60,000, uses aircraft to disperse chemicals and emphasizes evaluation over seeding. A Topeka legislative committee continues study of weather modification.
