Atmospheric particle dispersion, also known as cloud seeding, involves releasing particles such as dry ice or salt into clouds to accelerate condensation and precipitation. This project aims to explore the feasibility of using particle dispersion to trigger early rainfall in drought-prone regions, supporting agriculture and water security.

Expected Outcomes of the project are Increased rainfall in targeted regions. Improved drought resilience and water availability. Scientific data on effectiveness and risks.

And policy recommendations for responsible deployment.

Real-World Applications

  • China: Large-scale programs for drought relief and agriculture.
  • UAE: Focused on water resource management.
  • US: Used in western states to boost reservoir levels
