Damage limitation strategies for potential hazards and disasters include modifying the causes, impacts, and vulnerabilities. This involves actions such as cloud seeding to induce rainfall during droughts, developing drought-resistant crops, encouraging water conservation, constructing barriers to weaken hurricanes, and establishing evacuation routes. Adjustments can also be made to better manage resulting losses.

The heavy snowfalls over Beijing have
principally been induced by meteorological
offices to try to mitigate the most severe
drought to grip northern China in nearly half a
century.
City officials have been blasting chemicals into
clouds over northern China to create the first
precipitation in more than 100 days. The first
flurries fell on the capital on Tuesday. By
Tuesday, more than 500 cigarette-sized sticks of
silver iodide had been seeded into clouds above
Beijing from 28 rocket-launch bases around the
city, said the Beijing Weather Modification
Command Centre.

Dr David Dennis, the chief executive of
Performance Plants Incorporated in Kingston,
Ontario, said varieties of drought-tolerant
oilseed rape and maize were already being
tested in field trials in the US. He claimed the
new varieties can increase yield by 40% when
the plants are most water-stressed.

Change pool behaviour
Concentrate on keeping water in the pool. Try
the following:
• Discourage pool users from "bombing" and
continually getting out and jumping back into
the pool.
• Drip dry on the top step so that water goes
back into the pool.
• If you need to top up, get those who use the
pool to top up the water level with a bucket so
they're conscious of the amount of water
they've used.
