China is heavily populated with very bad smog and pollution.
Help clear smog and pollution Help provide more crops and water to the
cities. Olympics 2008

Works when too much moisture is collected in clouds to a point of saturation, when the clouds can no longer support the moisture.
When the clouds can no longer support the moisture, rain droplets are formed and begin to fall.

Salts, calcium, chloride, dry ice or silver iodide.
Chinese use silver iodide because it is similar to ice crystals

Beijing’s water basins have increased over 13 percent
Cloud seeding often helps to cool temperatures

Static Silver Iodide
Dynamic Boosts vertical air currents = more water
Hygroscopic Disperses salts to enlarge rain drops

12,000 anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers
30 planes 32,000-35,000 people participate

China spends 60-90 millions dollars a year
Pay farmers $100 / month to fire anti-aircraft guns

Accused of stealing rain? That’s right, some cities say others using
cloud seeding stole their potential clouds China man angry:

Haikou knew they were to experience droughts over winter and over extended cloud seeding
