Beijing in China used a very unusual way of ending their doughts. They sprayed a chemical in the clouds to make it rain. This prosses is called cloud seeding. As rain and snow fell onto the city to end the 110 day drought, One of the longest drought Beijing has experienced in 38 years. But this wasn't the first time China has used this method to end dry seasons. Cloud seeding has been used in China's northern countrys because they suffer from lots of droughts. Even thought this method ended the drought, some people believed that it is wron. For the increase of rainfall might mean less rain in other areas.
