BP Batam carries out weather modification to increase the potential for rain

Badan Pengusahaan (BP) Batam, located in the Riau Islands (Kepulauan Riau), has initiated a Weather Modification Operation (Operasi Modifikasi Cuaca or OMC).

The primary objective of this operational effort is to actively increase the potential for rainfall in the region.

While specific operational timelines or triggering factors are not detailed in the source, weather modification techniques are commonly deployed in Indonesia to manage water resources, mitigate drought, or combat environmental hazards such as land and forest fires.
