“Since 1951, the High Plains
Water District has worked with
individuals, elected officials, and
agencies to conserve and preserve
area ground water resources. It is
through this cooperative effort that
we have achieved many worthy
water conservation projects.
However, discord over the
precipitation enhancement program
could have had detrimental effects
on all our water district programs
and activities. Therefore, the board
felt that continuation of the
program was not in the best interest
of the district,” said Conkwright.
He says the district must be
focused on the future as it faces the
many challenges of ground water
management in the 21” century,
including water quality, quantity,
water use efficiency, and water
rights.
“We wish the very best to the
other nine organizations who are
conducting precipitation
enhancement programs in Texas.
Our decision was not directed
toward them as a whole,” said
Board President James Mitchell.

cloud seeding program
By a three to one vote, the High
Plains Underground Water
Conservation District No. I board
of directors decided Tuesday, Oct.
I, to terminate the precipitation
enhancement program that had
been in effect since 1997.
The board’s decision means that
precipitation enhancement
operations, or cloud seeding, will
no longer be conducted by the High
Plains Water District within its 15-
county service area.
“In 1997, the water district held
meetings in each of its district
directors' precincts to receive
public comment about the
precipitation enhancement program.
The program found favor then and
has operated as such during the past
six years,” said Manager Jim
Conkwright. "However, the
program has drawn criticism from
many groups during the past several
months.”
Conkwright added that several
political subdivisions within the
water district boundaries have
passed or are preparing to pass
resolutions asking that the district
halt the precipitation enhancement
