If Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall have their way, rain will go away come again some other day of their choosing.

To be honest, not sure on the amount of research has been done on seeding projects/programs. I would need to research more myself to adequately answer what you are asking, my apologies.
