Engineers behind the Tianhe project - which translates to “river in the sky” - are designing a network of six satellites which will be used to monitor damp air as it moves through a man-made “air corridor” above the vast country. The finished system will reportedly help China’s drought-prone northern regions by shifting rain clouds towards the Tibetan Plateau which see little rain.
If the system works as planned, it will reportedly deliver the equivalent of seven percent of China’s annual water consumption and provide water for some 1.4 billion people.

I find it just amazing how every year it seems the temperature at night drops 30 degrees within one or two days and then stays that way. We no longer have weather that does not require us using our air conditioners or heaters in the Northeast. It's probably anecdotal but it sure seems true.
Chinese scientist and academician Wang Guangqian and his team found that there are water vapor channels from the West Indian Ocean, the East Indian Ocean, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and Central Asia. These cloud water resources have great potential for development.
