Abstract

The Act establishes that no person shall artificially induce rain in any territory unless he has been declared qualified through a certificate to do so by the Government acting on the recommendation of the Minister. To obtain this qualification the person shall apply to the Minister in the form prescribed by the regulations and shall prove that he has the qualifications and fulfils the conditions required by the regulations. For the purposes of this Act, a person artificially induces rain if he causes it to fall artificially or attempts to cause it to fall artificially and “rain” is defined as any water which falls from the atmosphere in the form of solid or liquid precipitation.
