The spraying of chemicals to trigger artificial rain over the Castlereagh and Mausakelle catchments will continue for several more days, Power and Energy ministry said.

Artificial rains were triggered in the Mausakelle catchment area today by spraying chemicals on clouds with the help of the Air Force.

The Air Force used a Y12 plane to spray chemicals on the clouds at an altitude of 8000 feet. It resulted in rains in the Maussakele catchment area from 1pm to 1.45pm.
