Convinced of the potential benefits to the area it serves, the Company instituted a long-range program to increase precipitation. If, as is expected, cloud seeding proves successful, it will mean a real water bargain for everybody. Not only will it provide more hydroelectric power, but there will be more water for farmers, stockgrowers, lumbermen and urban residents. Push-button weather is still a project for the future. In the meantime, COPCO will continue its cloud seeding program, working toward the goals of producing more electric power for your use; conserving our natural resources and provid ing more water for the people of California and Oregon.
