Artificial experiments were performed in the Gutian reservoir region during April to June of 1975–1986. The statistical analyses from 244 experiments indicate that the effect of precipitation enhancement can reach about 20% by seeding. Meanwhile, the various cloud physics observations, including the concentration of ice nuclei, the Ag+ content in rain water, the features of radar echoes and the raindrop size distribution, and numerical simulations have been conducted. The results provide a preliminary physical explanation for the statistical conclusions
