It is an artificial way to make it rain.in order to mitigate the adverse effects of drought and to supplement water resources.
It’s a fairly simple technology. Specialized aircrafts are used to disperse salt flares into clouds to create rain. Despite its widespread adoption, there are seeding skeptics, whose concerns range from environmental repercussions to its effectiveness.
Proponents champion cloud seeding as a technological marvel capable of alleviating water scarcity. But dissenting voices caution against tampering with mother nature.
Skeptics argue that cloud seeding doesn’t work that well. And point to studies suggesting marginal increases in rainfall.
The long-term consequences of altering natural weather patterns remain a subject of intense debate within the scientific community.
Former chief scientist Ryan Maue underscores the limitations of cloud seeding, emphasizing that it cannot conjure precipitation “out of thin air.”
Climate Change
Experts also speculate regarding the role of cloud seeding in the UAE’s storms. They believe climate change heavily influenced the extreme weather event. The unprecedented warming of seas surrounding Dubai, intensified by global climate trends, makes the region a target for erratic rainfall patterns and intensified storms.
