Cloud seeding is a technique used to enhance rainfall by introducing cloud-forming particles
Cloud seeding can be of two types: Hygroscopic and Glaciogenic
Hygroscopic seeding targets warm convective clouds with a base above 0 degrees Celsius
Hygroscopic flares, containing Calcium Chloride particles, are released into the cloud base
It is effective in warm clouds with specific conditions like vertical velocity and liquid water content
Glaciogenic seeding targets cold clouds with both ice and water present
Glaciogenic seeding deploys ice-nucleating silver iodide (AgI) particles to enhance ice production
It is effective in deep cumulus and tropospheric stratus clouds with specific conditions
It is a weather modification technique enhancing precipitation & increasing streamflow
This technology will revolutionize precipitation enhancement for a water-scarce world
