Case study – application for accessing weather information in Thailand
In Thailand, an application has been developed to help farmers in planning their cultivation and harvest by accessing weather information. The application, called APP FONLUANG, was designed for use by government authorities, farmers and the general public, and delivers specific information on rainfall as well as cloud-seeding (atmospheric modification) actions. Farmers can use the app to request cloud-seeding operations in their own area. For government agencies, the app provides a crucial data collection tool allowing the situation nationwide to be analyzed, with the aim of addressing water shortages both in terms of agriculture and consumption.
