>lack of proper coordination of weather modification activity (could) lead to charges of 'rain stealing' between neighboring regions," both within China and with other countries.
I wonder if there's a map of regions most susceptible to 'rain stealing' via geoengineering and those who are most vulnerable. Some numbers from 8 years ago:
>Guo Xueliang, director of the artificial weather intervention center under the CMA, said total atmospheric water in China is typically 30 trillion tons per year while annual rainfall is about 6 trillion tons. “At least one more percent of cloud water could be transferred to rainfall every year, roughly 280 billion tons."
>the country would seek to increase precipitation by 3 to 5 percent in the next five years through cloud-seeding.
>In March, Zheng said the potential of average artificial rainfall could reach up to 280 billion tons per year, which is equal to seven times of the storage capacity of the Three Gorges Dam.
