Make it Rain! Cloud Seeding Program

Red Rock Canyon is suffering from extreme drought, and that’s why Save Red Rock is partnering with the scientists at DRI on a groundbreaking new cloud seeding program with potential to bring millions of gallons of much-needed rain and snowmelt to our thirsty canyon! You can donate to help us Make It Rain in Red Rock Canyon and make it snow on Mt Charleston.

Support Our Efforts!

Our Make it Rain campaign was a success! We raised enough money for 2 years of cloud seeding with our scientific partners at DRI. Any new donation will go towards the future for our conservation programs like Make It Rain, advocacy activity and more!

SAVE RED ROCK PARTNERS WITH DRI TO “MAKE IT RAIN” IN RED ROCK CANYON 

September 1, 2022
Las Vegas, NV (Sept. 1, 2022) — Save Red Rock is partnering with DRI to fund a cloud seeding program which will augment precipitation in the Spring Mountains, helping to replenish the aquifers within the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The partnership is working to alleviate some of the devastating effects of drought by stimulating additional snowfall in the winter and rainfall in the summer from naturally-occurring storm clouds…

Rainbow Over Red Rock | Save Red Rock

Red Rock Canyon is suffering from extreme drought, and that’s why Save Red Rock is partnering with the scientists at DRI on a groundbreaking new cloud seeding program with potential to bring millions of gallons of much-needed rain and snowmelt to our thirsty canyon! You can donate to help us Make It Rain in Red Rock Canyon and make it snow on Mt Charleston.

Cloud seeding is used all over the world as a method for enhancing winter snowfall and increasing mountain snowpack, supplementing the natural water supply available to ecosystems of the surrounding area. DRI has been pioneering winter cloud seeding programs since the early 1960s. They now offer time-tested cloud seeding methods that are proven to enhance snowfall from winter clouds in six mountain ranges, including Lake Tahoe Basin (CA/NV), Spring Mountains (NV), Santa Rosa Mountains (NV), San Juan Mountains (CO), and in the Upper Colorado River Headwaters region (CO).

How it Works

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses around a tiny particle of dust or salt floating in the atmosphere. Without those particles, known as ice nuclei, raindrops or snowflakes cannot form, and precipitation will not occur. Cloud seeding introduces tiny ice nuclei into subfreezing clouds. After cloud seeding, the newly formed snowflakes grow and fall to the surface of the earth. Ground-based generators are operated remotely by meteorologists. When storm systems move through the cloud seeding project area, a solution containing a small amount of silver iodide is activated from the ground-based generator. Upon reaching the cloud, the silver iodide acts as a condensation nuclei to aid in the formation of precipitation. Projects run during the winter season from November to May. 

Why Now? 

  • Reduced precipitation in Spring Mountains
  • Drought conditions in Nevada
  • Second driest year to date in over 100 years of observation

Measured Success

Operational cloud seeding projects have been the subject of bountiful research since the 1950s and 1960s. DRI’s team of meteorologists monitor the results of their cloud seeding operations through a network of precipitation stations, and measurements of trace silver iodide. The effectiveness of cloud seeding differs from project to project, but long-term cloud seeding projects over the mountains of Nevada and other parts of the world have been shown to increase the overall snowpack in targeted areas by 10% or more per year. DRI’s last project in Lee Canyon proved even more successful, generating 5,656 acre feet, or approximately 1.8 billion gallons. 

Cloud Seeding Equipment

Ground based generators are currently designed for winter seeding. The units contain a main solution tank which holds 72 gallons of seeding agent. Seeding agents are typically silver iodide, a non-toxic and naturally occurring compound, which creates the greatest yield of snowflakes in this temperature region. 

Water Producing Capacity

A previous generator in the area was shown to add 5,500+ acre feet of snow water equivalent (swe) = 1.7 billion gallons. Additional generators have the capability of adding additional 5,500+ acre/feet of snow water equivalent in excess of 1.7 billion gallons each. The full water output is dependent on the number of natural storms that develop during the winter season, and their ability to be seeded. The right cloud conditions are necessary in order to wring out the extra moisture.

2022-2023 Cloud Seeder Area

The Blue shaded area is the cloud seeding target area and the red dot is the approximate generator site in Lovell Canyon, which is in Red Rock National Conservation Area.

Melt, runoff, and percolation from the Spring Mountains snowpack is the primary mechanism for groundwater recharge of the numerous springs and aquifers across the region. A secondary recharge can come from thunderstorms associated with the summer monsoon. 2018-2019 one generator cloud seeding program was conducted in the Spring Mountains, in a similar location.

  • 16 storms were seeded with 101 hours of generator operations
  • Cloud seeding was 22,400 acres
  • Cloud seeding produced 1 inch of additional snow every 3+ hours
  • The total Snow Water Equivalent increase for the winter was estimated at 5,656 acre-feet (or approx 1.7 billion gallons) of water.

🎉 After more than 20 years of planning, Phase 1 of the Red Rock Legacy Trail has finally broken ground! 🏜️🚧

What began as a community vision — one that Save Red Rock proudly helped launch by raising the first $12 million in grant funding — is now coming to life. This $100M+ project will create a safe, off-road, shared-use paved path for everyone to enjoy the stunning Red Rock Canyon.

We’re thrilled to see this incredible milestone and grateful to everyone who made it possible.

Memorial Day is a special day in Red Rock Canyon. It’s a day of memories and miracles. First, it’s the day we honor our brave soldiers and ancestors who sacrificed so much for our lives and freedom, and second, it’s the day we celebrate the wonderful land that they saved for us. In Red Rock Canyon on this day in 2021, I was astonished to witness a huge natural rock fall in Oak Creek! At first I thought it was a helicopter. That’s what it sounded like, with a deep rumbling noise. I wish I had gotten video, but I was too caught off guard trying to figure out what it was, so here are the only three photos I got. Red Rock Canyon also blessed me with a rare sighting of a shy chuckwalla, a sunrise and moonrise at the same time, and signs of faith, hope, and joy, all on the same Memorial Day! Then today, Memorial Day 2025, I saw the cutest, most obedient tortoise I’ve ever seen out here! He crossed the road right where the sign said he was supposed to cross the road! I stood not too close by his side, not touching him, but making sure cars gave him wide berth to take his sweet time obeying the sign and crossing the road in peace, in one piece! #I❤️RR! #tortoiselover #chuckwalla #moonrise #sunrise #rockfall #memorialday #saveredrock #savenaturesmiracles #landofthefreebecauseofthebrave🇺🇸

Today, we had the honor of celebrating a very special moment for Save Red Rock—our board member Pauline was recognized with the Compassionate City Award at a beautiful reception at city hall.

This award acknowledges individuals who lead with empathy, serve with purpose, and uplift their communities. Pauline embodies all of this and more. Her tireless efforts to protect Red Rock Canyon, build community partnerships, and advocate for sustainability have left a lasting impact—not just on the land, but on the hearts of those who know her.

The room was filled with community leaders, changemakers, and supporters who came together to honor this year’s recipients. It was a moving reminder of the power of compassion and the importance of leading with love and integrity.

We are so proud of Pauline and grateful to have her guiding our mission. Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved recognition—and thank you to everyone who supports Save Red Rock and the people behind it. Compassion truly drives change.
