Between 1995 and 2003, China spent US$266 million on weather modification. Amongst various other endeavours, the ambitious Sky River Project was proposed to divert water vapour northwards from the Yangtze River basin to the Yellow River basin, where it would become rainfall. Entailing the employment of drones, planes, and of thousands of fuel-burning chambers installed across the Tibetan mountains, the massive geoengineering project is viewed as a critical innovation to solving China's water shortage problem. In this respect, the moisture in the sky is reframed as yet another resource that can be controlled, harnessed, and exploited through technological means.
