No.

No.

And we're not reversing the trend right now.

We're slowing it down, but it's still being drawn down.

Interestingly enough, Nebraska and Orange County are the two places in the US that have great aquifers.

Unfortunately, Orange County's aquifer is full of plastic, and Nebraska's aquifer is full of pesticides.

not great but at least they have the water um so yeah without without cloud seeding we run out of water that's that's number one um and then with respect to other stuff like people propose means of doing hail suppression so targeting a storm before it dumps golf ball or baseball sized hail if you can freeze the uh liquid in the cloud into really really small snowflakes before they

freeze onto bigger stones and grow into bigger stones, then you can reduce the amount of damage done by that as well.

That's another huge application that I think about.

Interesting.

What about wildfires?

This is a very, you know, I live in Los Angeles.

It's a very near and dear thing to my heart.

When there is a wildfire raging, generally the heat from that will dry up the atmosphere above it.

You very rarely get enough clouds over a wildfire to conduct cloud seeding, to make it rain directly over the fire.

So can you actively stop a wildfire with this?

Not in most cases, which is unfortunate.

However,

In the months preceding the LA fires, there were tons of clouds that could have precipitated that didn't precipitate.

And because they didn't rain,
