Weather modification team starts work<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: A weather modification team at the Agency for
\nAssessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), which is
\nexpected to help reduce rainfall in Jakarta, started operation on
\nFriday.<\/p>\n
State Minister of Research and Technology M. Hatta Radjasa
\nsaid he had ordered the team to work after hearing a weather
\nforecast by the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency on Thursday
\nthat there would be heavy rainfall on Friday.<\/p>\n
However, Hatta did not mention whether the clear weather on
\nFriday was the result of the work of the team, which started its
\nactivities since early in the morning at Halim Perdanakusuma air
\nbase in East Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\"I still cannot give any details of the work as I have not
\nreceived a report or an evaluation,\" he said.<\/p>\n
BPPT expressed its readiness on Monday to help reduce the
\nintensity of rainfall in Jakarta because of its years of
\nexperience in the use of the weather modification technology. --
