The organizations mentioned include: the World Meteorological Organization, Mexico Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, North American Interstate Weather Modification Council, Weather Modification Association, American Meteorological Society, and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Most of these organizations are involved in distribution of technical information to other types of groups throughout the world.
