Artificial Rain
Artificial rain is man-made precipitation induced using cloud seeding techniques, involving chemicals like silver iodide, potassium chloride, or dry ice. It is used for drought relief, improving water availability, controlling pollution, and reducing heat waves in urban areas where the environment remains dry for a long time. Artificial rainfall is also called as cloud seeding. In 1946, Vincent Schaefer, working at GE's research laboratory, was experimenting with cloud icing on aircraft.The method involves dispersing chemicals like silver iodide, potassium iodide, and dry ice into clouds to encourage the formation of raindrops using aircraft or helicopters.Artificial is especially seen in areas with low rainfall area like Saudi Arab,Qatar, and UAE.Delhi is conducted its first-ever trial of artificial rain through cloud seeding between July 4 and 11, 2025.
Importance of Artificial rain for india
The Primary goal of artificial rain to increase precipitation which can be crucial in area facing drought conditions. Cloud seeding has been the focus of many theories based on the belief that governments manipulate the weather in order to control various conditions, including global warming, populations, military weapons testing, public health, and flooding.The main objective of its first-ever launch in Delhi, India, is to reduce pollution. Rainfall is very essential for agriculture. Artificial rain can eventually enhance crop and other productivity. Artificial rain can improve the resources of water. Increasing participation can positively impact on water levels on reservoir .
