Drought Action

As previously mentioned, there has been growing concern for ongoing drought conditions in Cambodia. A sudden flurry of news today indicates that some international relief may is being provided.

Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reports in "UN food body begins rice aid to Cambodia" that:
The WFP will distribute about 1,000 tonnes of rice to about 50,000 farmers in five provinces over the next three months.


And Xinhua News Agency - through the China View website - reports "UN food agency offers rice aid to Cambodia":
Among 24 provinces and municipalities, Kompong Speu and kompongCham provinces are the hardest hit areas. Emergency rice distribution began on April 6 and 10 provinces will receive rice aid, including Battambang, Kompong Cham, Kompong Chhnang, Kompong Speu, Kampot, Kompong Thom, Kandal, Kratie, Prey Veng and Pursat.

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO REVERSE DROUGHT IN AUSTRALIA
POSITIVE ACTION CAN MAKE THIS A REALITY WITHIN MONTHS


Dear Sir.,
I am a private researcher my name is Robert Jones currently living with my family in Queensland Australia.As you are aware,the devastating drought conditions throughout Australia are forecast to worsen in following years.I am a firm believer that actions speak much louder than words.I have spent many years researching rainfall stimulating technology that was extensively trialled in some of the driest regions on earth with astounding success.

I request only a modest amount of funding to cover material costs allowing me to fabricate a relatively simple piece of technology that will take no more than three months to build and will restore normal rainfall within 48 hours of application.Subsequent individual field trials were undertaken during mild to severe droughts in Florida,(2) Illinois,(2) Georgia/S.Carolina,(3) Arizona,(4) Washington State (4) and California (5) Results were very positive, with a restoration of natural rainfall episodes generally within 48 hours after operations commenced."I have all the meteorological data and details of these trials"

Rain stimulation experiments have also proceeded in arid and semi-arid lands, in the Southwestern USA (6), Greece,(7) Cyprus,(7) Israel,(8) Namibia (9) and Eritrea (10). These latter cases often constituted more definitive case studies, given the drier desert conditions under which the apparatus was tested. Nevertheless, the results were also positive in these cases, sometimes far beyond our expectations, with the termination of drought conditions and development of significant rains over adjacent desert areas.

I must stress that the technology works and was trialled over more than two decades.The total cost of building the equipment is less than $10,000.00 the results are guaranteed.Please consider what the current drought is costing the Australian Government sir and take immediate action.I propose that after the first successful operation that this technology can be used throughout the worse effected drought regions of Australia especially in water catchment and crop growing regions.

I am at this moment unemployed,this will create employment for me for a considerable duration and I will be providing a valuable service to the Australian Government and the primary producers of Australia.The restoration of normal rainfall will also lift the current serious water restrictions throughout our nation.I can be contacted on Ph (07) 41290429 office or Ph (07) 41294492 home (all hours) Please take my proposal seriously Sir,for only a modest investment you will see great results.Kind regards Robert Jones
