Snowy Precipitation Enhancement Research Project (SPERP)

Snowy Hydro Limited is conducting a research project of winter cloud seeding to assess the feasibility of increasing snow precipitation in the Snowy Mountains. 

The New South Wales Government approved legislation to enable the SPERP to commence in winter 2004. In 2008, the NSW Government approved an expansion of the program in area and duration to 2014.

Cloud Seeding technology is not new or untried and has been used successfully in America for the last 50 years and in Tasmania for the last 40 years, with water utilities continuing to use cloud seeding technology to augment water supply systems.
