This technique was used to create rainfall or create water. The company appointed will alter natural weather patterns and increase precipitation. This will increase rainfall in certain time and will effectively make the sky clear at the time needed.

"Usually the spread around 1,6 tons of salt in 2 flights, yesterday 15 November 2022, we used 11.2 tons of salt with 11 flights," Dwikorita said. 
Dwikorita also explained that their team has started to control the weather since November 10-16, 2022. In total, there was 29 tons of salt spread over the sky in 28 times of flights just for the G20 Indonesia.
