The country’s scientists are wielding the latest technology that has improved the amount of precipitation and allowed the conservation of rainwater.
Cloud seeding is a weather-modification technique that artificially adds condensation nuclei to the sky, giving a base for snowflakes or raindrops to form, improving a cloud’s potential to generate rain.
Cloud seeding can be done remotely using ground-based generators or airplanes. To aid in the creation of ice crystals, most cloud seeding procedures use a substance called silver iodide. A solution containing a small amount of silver iodide is burned or discharged from airplanes by ground-based generators. This technique improves the chances of cloud producing raindrops by 93% and increases rainfall intensity by 30%.
This method is helping Israeli farmers to produce high-quality and quantity food in the desert by increasing the amount of rainfall on farmlands. It hhelpedelp combat extreme high temperatures in the country.
