People did and they weren't. I remember watching an article about it on television when I was in early grade school. Plenty of people facing drought were glad of it when it worked. Drought is not funny. You turn on the tap and nothing comes out. You ask your neighbor for a gallon, and they are also dry. The neighborhood is dry. The township is dry. The province is dry. How do you find water? That's what everyone is now facing in Zambia...but it's not newsworthy.
You tell me. If one state seeds the clouds so that it rains/snows over that state, does that action cause drought in other states that might have gotten that rain. Colorado seeds clouds all of the time to increase snowpack for the tourists. Is that really a worthy use.
Then we are talking about inter-state politics, not anything technological. This is not much different from the various uses to which the Colorado and Columbia rivers are put.

So you see no problem with every state conducting their own cloud seeding without any thought as to how it affects the water cycle downstream.
Is there a problem?
