BMC to rope in Israeli company for cloud seeding
At a time when Mumbaikars are suffering from water cuts due to deficient rainfall, cloud seeding is the means the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is looking forward to.
The BMC has decided to rope in Israel’s national water company, Mekorot for this purpose.
The plan is to carry out cloud seeding operations in the areas where major water reservoirs of the city are situated.
An action plan will be drawn after a proposed meeting through video conferencing with representatives of India Meteorological Department, and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology and Mekorot officials on Thursday.
The exercise is a part of BMC’s memorandum of understanding with Israel’s ministry of water and energy, signed in March 2011. Mekorot’s involvement would effectively help tackle the challenge of water scarcity faced by the people of Mumbai.
