How cloud seeding works
Why the UAE resorts to cloud-seeding in the first place
The UAE is one of the first countries in the Gulf to be using this technology. In other countries, its benefit includes controlling the formation of hail- resulting in less physical damages. Cloud seeding can even help decrease the likelihood of hurricanes and lightning.
In the UAE, on the other hand, makes use of this technology to benefit farmlands, increase water supply and help ease the effects of dry spells.
And for those of us who loooove the rain, it doesn’t hurt to have a few adorable gloomy days dunnit?
