China hopes to increase rainfall by 10 billion cubic meters per year in Tibetian Plateau: Read How?

Hi Readers!!Temperature rising is a major issue not only in China,But the world is facing rising same issue.But China is here with a solution.Interesting??Read below :

China is  experimenting with a new low-cost weather modification system in a bid to increase rain fall in Tibetian Plateau.The country hope to increase rainfall in the region by up to 10 billion cubic meters year & the interesting thing is that this is about 7 percent of China's total water consumption.The Tibetan plateau, Asia’s largest freshwater reserve, feeds the continents biggest rivers including the Yellow River, Yangtze, Mekong, Salween and the Brahmaputra. 

What is  technology:

China will build a series of fuel burning chambers in selected location of plateau.The chambers will burn solid fuel to produce silver iodide, a cloud seeding agent. This will induce rain and snow. The chambers will be built on steep mountain ridges facing the direction of the wind. When the wind hits the chambers, it produces an upward draft and sends particles into the atmosphere to bring rain — a single chamber can reportedly form a strip of thick clouds stretching across over 5 Km.

There are already 500 burners reportedly deployed on the plateau for experimentation. Researchers are looking at ways to ensure the burners require minimum maintenance once operational, especially since they will be operated in a remote environment.

Each burner costs $8,000 (about 50,000 Yuan) to build and install — cheaper as they are mass produced.
