Heavy rains make BMC ponder about cloud seeding project
Heavy rains in Mumbai seemingly may have brought relief to Mumbaikars as well as to the civic officials.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Authority (BMC) officials are now contemplating if they should still go ahead with cloud seeding project to increase water levels in the lakes around Mumbai, as the heavy downpour last few days have seemingly increased water levels in lakes.
This year, monsoons have reached its peak only in the last week of August and the rainfall has been better than the entire season put together.
As per the earlier plans, the cloud seeding project was supposed to start on September 1 and go on till September 28. However, the BMC is yet to receive clearances from the concerned authorities like Directorate-General of Civil Aviation, home department, etc to conduct the cloud seeding experiment.
