GOVERNOR Erico Aumentado adeptly steered the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) to churn up the necessary support for the much needed cloud seeding operations in drought hit-Bohol.
During a meeting March 15, the governor who has been moving allover Bohol expressed alarm at the widespread effects of the El Nino which has now parched not only the harvests and cracked the farmlands but also receded the water levels of Bohol dams to critical point.
Seeing the most immediate need for mitigation, the governor, who also heads the PDCC convened the council to hear out reports from various government and private institutions monitoring the effects of the drought.
The council then passed a resolution supporting the National Irrigation Administration and the governor in its desire to ask the agriculture department for the much needed cloud seeding to to bring out the rains.
The governor has already intimated his desire to have cloud seeding operations here, he shared last Friday. (PIA Bohol)
