LaoPo Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Tanzania to get rain-making help Tanzania has been given permission to import rain-making technology from the king of Thailand, Thai media report. The Thai agricultural minister said this could be the start of exporting the rain-making project to other countries.

Crossy Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Cloud seeding was tried extensively in Southern Africa 30 years ago.... If you take time to read the BBC article, you will see that there are subtle differences with His Majesty's method involving the use of two aircraft. Judging by the 1.5m of water we had on our building land in November it's quite effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trt Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Actually extremely heavy rains fell late last year in Tanzania... It didn't stop raining for about 2 months.. maybe they have started already?! Would love to know how much this is costing the GOTNZ? Hopefully this is going to be donated to them as they do not have a cent or shilingi to their name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmart Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Just hope Tanzania didn't buy the fake Thai cloud seeding chemicals that lined some politician's pocket here during the drought two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I agree....but it says: " Tanzania has been given permission to import rain-making technology " If it's 'import' I suppose they've to pay for it, but hope you're right.
