Cloud Seeding

Cloud seeding is a technique used to increase rainfall in a target area. Hydro Tasmania has been involved in both operational and experimental cloud seeding over Tasmania and mainland Australia for over 40 years and it has developed a great deal of knowledge and expertise. From 2009 cloud seeding operations are conducted every year from 28th April to 31st October inclusive.
