What Is Cloud Seeding?

Every year for many across the world, drought is a real problem. It causes serious health risks of dehydration – drought is no laughing matter.

Cloud seeding offers a potential solution to this, and the wondrous thing is, it can be used literally worldwide… theoretically.

Cloud seeding is the process of spreading chemicals like dry ice to forcefully make clouds undergo precipitation to form frozen ice drops that will defrost & become water droplets as they fall.

The seeding is done from the earth or more efficiently by plane.

The thing about rain is…

As we know, rain itself starts as a liquid not far from freezing, forming ice crystals in the clouds high above, so this process isn’t that far-fetched.

The silver iodide, or dry ice, just speeds up and expands this sequence generating more and more crystals.

Does it work?

The issue, and skepticism, with whether this process does indeed work is that it’s carried out on clouds that are showing signs of potential rainfall, and one cannot be sure as to whether they would have rained without the encouragement.

Success has been claimed in a wide range of “dry” countries including Australia and the UAE, with the latter claiming they formed 52 storms in the Abu Dhabi desert.
