The Region V Office of Department of Agriculture RFU 5 has recently started cloud seeding, a form of weather modification in which the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds is changed by dispersing vacuum dried salt into the clouds 2,000 feet from the ground. A mitigation effort against the ill effects of the El NiƱo phenomenon, the cloud seeding had resulted to rains in the provinces of Camarines Sur, Albay and Masbate. (RAFID5)
