Cloud Seeding

Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai has urged the centre to convene an urgent meeting with key stakeholders to expedite approvals for cloud seeding, an emergency measure aimed at reducing the anticipated winter pollution spike in the capital.

Indonesia is using a weather modification technique known as cloud seeding around the site of its future capital to reduce intense rains that have hampered construction of the new city, a weather agency official said on Friday.

Depending on the rain god and cloud seeding are not the answer and the government needs to take effective steps, the Supreme Court said today while hearing a petition flagging forest fires in Uttarakhand.

Unprecedented rainfall in desert regions extends beyond Dubai and Oman, with similar events observed globally, from Australia and Greece to the United States.

Several meteorological experts don't agree with the theory that cloud seeding was responsible for Dubai rain, and the theory has caused a debate in the community.

Many videos from Dubai are doing rounds on social media. Now a time-lapse video that shows the massive storm is going viral online.

With Dubai's highways flooded after record rain, a cat was found clinging to a submerged car's door.

Dubai, known for its arid climate and blistering temperatures, was battered by torrential rain on Tuesday, triggering widespread flooding throughout the desert nation.

Richard Peltier said there is a good understanding that air pollution is "really quite bad" across India but precision is lacking due to the limited distribution of air pollution monitors.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday invited Global Expression of Interest (GEOI) for initiating a cloud seeding program for artificial rain to combat air pollution in Mumbai.

Pakistan's Punjab province is planning to carry out an artificial rain experiment with China's help in Lahore, one of the cities to face the worst air pollution, a project estimated to cost Rs 350 million in the cash-strapped country, as per reports.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday morning visited parts of Mumbai to review steps taken to control dust and air pollution and said the city civic body has been directed to do cloud seeding if required.

The Delhi government is considering implementing artificial rain through cloud seeding this month to combat the rising air pollution levels in the city.

Indian scientists plan to seed clouds for the first time to trigger heavy rain in some areas of New Delhi, hoping this will be enough to tackle the smog gripping the world's most polluted capital for a week, the project's head said on Thursday.

Environment Minister Gopal Rai met with a team from IIT Kanpur on November 8 to discuss the implementation of the cloud seeding in the national capital.
