China to spend ₹1,145 crore to make it rain
China is planning to spend $168 million (around ₹1,145 crore) on a three-year program aimed at making it rain in its usually arid northwestern region, according to reports. China will use rockets to plant seeds in the clouds with dry ice to prompt rainfall. Interestingly, China had earlier used weather manipulation to clear the skies for the 2008 Olympics.
