China is in the middle of its worst drought in 50 years, brought on by climate change. Many areas of Northern China are desperately short of water. This has lead the governement to start a cloud seeding program to try and make it rain. Silver halide shells are fired into cloud. These microscopic particles act as nuclei around which rain drops can form. This cloud seeding canon is on the outskirts of Harbin city in Heilongjiang province, Northern China
