Cloud seeding

Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique that involves dispersing substances like silver iodide or sodium chloride into clouds to encourage the formation of raindrops or snowflakes. By introducing particles that serve as nuclei, it helps clouds produce precipitation more effectively, especially in areas experiencing drought or low rainfall. The process aims to enhance water resources, reduce hail damage, or mitigate fog. While cloud seeding can influence weather patterns, its effectiveness varies and it is typically used as a supplementary tool alongside natural weather processes.
