The Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation Department has opened a new rainmaking operation centre in Buri Ram to try to increase rainfalls in five lower northeastern provinces, a senior provincial official said Saturday.
Nopparat Pongkittichote, the chief agricultural officer for Buri Ram, said the department’s chief has approved the request to open the centre.
He said the centre would be equipped with two planes and each would fly two sorties a day to try to increase rainfalls over natural water resources and reservoirs.
The operations would cover Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Surin, Si Sa Ket and Chaiyaphum and would continue until the rainy season.
