Mali: Provoking rain?

A report just out indicates that Mali is having some success in provoking rainfall by seeding clouds. This new innovation, which has cost 2.8 billion FCFA has been paid for out of the national budget and was recently allowed by law (January 2006). So far the results seem good and production has increased due to increased rain. The process is somewhat complicated and depends on the right atmospheric conditions. Malians are being trained by American specialists.
