    "content": "sector, weather forecasts by the department serve other sectors of the economy and we get satisfactory comments from them to show total satisfaction for the forecasts. Those other sectors July 20, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2253 include the aviation sector, marine services, the military and other sectors such as the building and construction industry, recreation, sports, tourism, health, weather-related disaster management, water resources management and outdoor functions in general. (b) As reiterated earlier, the department does not make misleading forecasts to farmers. Nonetheless, the global perspective on meteorological focus is always taken into consideration and we are updating our methods by ensuring that we keep abreast of global trends. To this end, we have a modernization and expansion programme which includes the extension of existing observation network from 35 to 70, an increase of rainfall stations from the current 700 to 10,000, installation of surveillance radars with polyfers and lightning detection systems, improvement of data communication links using satellite-based technology and improvement of data processing and archival systems, including human resource development, establishment of provincial meteorological offices, training of personnel, setting up of an automatic observation network for areas which are not manned and modernization of instruments and equipment."
