Global Interest in Cloud Seeding for Water Supply
• Cloud seeding is gaining global traction as a method to augment water supplies amidst climate change.
• Countries like the U.S., China, India, and Saudi Arabia are actively involved in cloud seeding programs.
• Despite its potential, cloud seeding raises environmental and geopolitical concerns that require careful consideration.
Cloud seeding gains popularity amid climate change
Cloud seeding is becoming increasingly popular worldwide as nations struggle with water scarcity and the effects of climate change. This weather modification technique involves releasing substances into the air to act as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which changes the microphysical processes inside the cloud. The goal is to boost precipitation in the form of rain or snow, depending on the region and its demands.
