Cloud seeding planned for dam<\/p>\n
JATILUHUR, West Java: A state-owned company will carry out cloud
\nseeding next week over the Citarum River basin area. The move was
\naimed to increase water levels in the Saguling, Cirata and
\nJatiluhur dams.<\/p>\n
\"Cloud seeding was also conducted recently in Central Java
\nprovince,\" said Tukul Santoso, one of the directors at Perum Jasa
\nTirta II, Jatiluhur, the company that manages dams in West Java.<\/p>\n
Jatiluhur Dam, the largest dam in West Java, was almost dry
\nafter the long dry season in West Java last year.<\/p>\n
He said that the cloud seeding was conducted between the
\ncompany and other institutions, namely the state electricity
\ncompany PT PLN, the Agency for the Assessment and Application of
\nTechnology (BPPT) and the West Java provincial administration.<\/p>\n
He said that recent rainfall had raised the water level at
\nJatiluhur dam to 98.46 meters as of Monday. But, the level was
\nfar below the normal level of 107 meters. \"Noting the water
\nlevel, cloud seeding is a must,\" he said.-- Antara<\/p>",
