• Cloud seeding is a scientific method to induce artificial rain, addressing water scarcity in India.
• Learn about its principles, processes, and potential applications.

How Does Cloud Seeding Work?

The process of cloud seeding begins with identifying suitable clouds that have enough moisture but lack the necessary particles to form rain. Aircraft or ground-based generators release seeding agents into these clouds. These agents act as nuclei around which water droplets can condense, eventually leading to rainfall. The effectiveness of cloud seeding depends on various factors, including atmospheric conditions and the type of clouds targeted.
