Water scarcity is a very real (and growing) problem, and Augustus Doricko started his company, Rainmaker, to address it. Today we discuss the technology of cloud seeding; the history and evolution of that technology; the big questions and concerns about human efforts to modify the weather; and we talk about the potential here, which includes things like literally saving the Great Salt Lake.
