In recent years, China's weather modification efforts have developed rapidly, and its operational capacity and management level have been continuously improved, which have played an important role in serving agricultural production, supporting disaster prevention, mitigation and relief, supporting ecological civilization and safeguarding major emergency events.

In the area of ensuring food security, great efforts have been made to vigorously implement artificial rain (snow) enhancement and hail suppression measures, with the current average annual rain augmentation area stabilizing at 5 million square kilometers and the average annual hail suppression area at around 650,000 square kilometers, contributing to bumper grain harvests in successive years.

To ensure ecological safety, large-scale and regular artificial rain (snow) enhancement operations have been continuously carried out to replenish ecological water in a timely manner and provide meteorological support for soil and water conservation, vegetation restoration and biodiversity protection. Ecological restoration-type weather modification operations have been piloted throughout the Qilian Mountains, the Sanjiangyuan Region, the Tianshan Mountains, the Danjiangkou and other typical areas.

To ensure water security, we have actively carried out artificial rain (snow) enhancement to respond to drought conditions, in an effort to help reservoirs replenish water and increase capacity in arid areas, and protect drinking water for people and livestock, industrial and agricultural production.

In terms of supporting major emergency events, we work on weather modification for disaster prevention, mitigation and relief and emergency response with great success in disaster prevention, such as fighting forest fires and reducing the risk of forest fires.
