Artificial rain in Cauvery catchment area to increase inflow into 4 dams

The Cauvery water-sharing crisis has prompted the Karnataka government to go for cloud seeding in the catchment areas of the river to increase the inflow of water into its reservoirs. Water Resources Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday said the tendering process would be completed shortly and the cloud seeding operation would be taken up in a week’s time.
