TEKNOLOJIA: NIGER KUANZA KUTENGENEZA MVUA KUKABILIANA NA UKAME
Niger imeanza kutumia teknolojia ya kutengeneza mvua inayolenga kupunguza athari za ukame nchini humo, ili kuongeza uzalishaji wa vyakula baada ya kukabiliwa na vipindi virefu vya ukame
Mkuu wa taasisi ya kitaifa ya hali ya hewa, Katiellou Gaptia Lawan, amesema Teknolojia hiyo inahusisha kutumia ndege kunyunyiza kemikali kwenye mawingu
Unyunyiziaji huo unalenga maeneo yanayojishughulisha na kilimo

Niger has deployed rainmaking technology aimed at alleviating the effects of drought in the country, weather authorities said Thursday.
The desert country has faced a food crisis for years because of extended dry spells.
The head of the national meteorology institute, Katiellou Gaptia Lawan, told AFP news agency: “We had to do something about this drought.”
The "induced rain" technology involves using an aircraft to spray chemicals into clouds.
The intervention is targeting areas where people farm.
Some parts of the country have experienced flooding further adding to the food crisis.
