The Chinese government has approved a $168 million plan (1.15 billion yuan) to modify the country’s weather, potentially bringing more rain and snow across an area almost double the size of France.
It’s one of the biggest programs of its kind, and will rely on four new planes, eight upgraded craft, 897 rocket launch devices, and 1,856 devices connected to digital control systems, according to the South China Morning Post.
With weather-modifying technology, the China Meteorological Administration estimates it will increase precipitation in an area of 960,000 sq km – 10 percent of the country’s territory.
This process relies on the use of a catalyst, such as dry ice, to induce rainfall from the clouds.
And, weather modification by firing chemicals into the sky has also become more popular across the country, according to SCMP.
Artificial rainfall enhancement has recently become a way to help ‘clean up’ the smog-filled air of the cities.
According to He Shengcun, an official at the Qinghai provincial government’s ‘weather influencing’ office, these techniques have led to an increase in precipitation by 55 billion cubic metres from 2006 to 2016, SCMP reports.
China aims to use weather modification technologies to create more than 60 billion cubic metres of additional rain a year by 2020, it said in a document published at the beginning of last year. This is the equivalent of roughly 150 percent of the water in the Three Gorges reservoir.
