Casablanca hosts 8th conference of man-made weather changes

Casablanca is hosting this April 7-11 the 8th conference of the world meteorology organization on artificial modifications of weather.

Over 150 experts, representing 40 countries, are taking part in the conference, the first in an Arab-African country.

The forum will highlight Morocco's efforts to consolidate technical and scientific capabilities in weather forecasts and its experience in inducing weather changes.

Morocco conducted in Burkina Faso between 1999 and 2002, a rain-inducing operation called "Al-Ghait" that was first applied in Morocco in 1999.
