Why is cloud seeding not possible in Delhi?
Many measures are being taken to deal with the increasing pollution in Delhi. The supreme court has also taken action in the matter of pollution in Delhi. At the same time, one of the measures taken to stop pollution in delhi is cloud seeding i.e. making rain artificially. But the question arises whether cloud seeding is possible in Delhi? Let's know the answer to this question.
What is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is a technique in which chemicals are released in the clouds so that it can rain. These chemicals are in the form of small particles that attract the water vapor present in the clouds. This makes the clouds heavy and it rains.
Why is cloud seeding difficult in Delhi?
Cloud seeding is difficult in Delhi. There are many reasons behind this. Actually, the level of pollution in delhi is also a problem behind this. Actually delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world. The very high level of air pollution and smoke puts a question mark on cloud seeding, whether it will be possible or not. Cloud seeding usually involves adding silver iodide or other chemicals to clouds to attract water. However, due to air pollution in delhi, clouds do not develop properly and it becomes difficult for them to become dense. This means that the effect of the cloud seeding process may be limited.
Apart from this, the current weather conditions are important for cloud seeding. In this, clouds should already be present so that they can be influenced. Delhi's weather is often very hot, humid and dusty, which makes it difficult for clouds to form and rain. When there are not enough clouds or their condition is not right, the process of cloud seeding can be useless. Especially in the summer season, there is a lot of dust and pollution in the air in delhi, which reduces the possibility of cloud formation. At the same time, climate change or irregular monsoon also affects the effectiveness of cloud seeding. Also, cloud seeding in delhi can cost a lot, which is difficult for the government.
