Intellectuals in countries like China have forced the Government to pass Act on cloud seeding to produce 25% extra water by augmenting the rainfall by cloud seeding with common salt for warm clouds and silver iodide for cold clouds.  For this purpose China is the world leader because it employs 37,000 farmers and technicians and directs about 500 scientists employed by the meteorological department to help the villages, towns, cities, districts and states to conduct cloud seeding operations.By this method China is able toproduce extra river flows amounting to 1800 TMC, equal to the annual flow in a major river like Krishna in South India at a cost benefit ratio of 1:29.  See websites for details:
