A new experimental technology called cloud seeding is being used in Arizona to produce more rain. About 30 cloud seeding tests were done in Pinal County last summer. The project cost nearly $220,000 to execute and produced about 34,000-acre feet of rain, for a water cost of roughly $6.50 an acre foot.
