Expected Effects
Cloud seeding is a burgeoning new technology that has only recently been properly developed despite being first conceptualized in 1946. Despite this, its development has been particularly rapid in the 21st century.
Using cloud seeding, we can expect not only the alleviation of drought effects to help crop growth, but also the suppression of potentially harmful weather phenomena such as fog and hail. The El Niño and global warming phenomena have caused cloud seeding to receive increasing attention recently.
Side Effects
Cloud seeding does not only bring good effects.
This precipitation is not a natural phenomenon, but artificially created, so it can have some unintended side effects.
Cloud seeding can sometimes generate large storms.
The moisture in other juxtaposed locations may be decreased.
Silver iodide, which is prominently used in cloud seeding, may have deletrious and pollutive effects on the environment.
To solve the problems...
Improving seeding methods to be more environmentally sound
Monitoring environment in the area before initiating the process
Cloud seeding is not artificial, so information should be provided to affected peoples
Conclusion
We can expect positive results through cloud seeding. If we can utilize this technology appropriately, we can provide sufficient water to our land to prevent severe droughts.
We can additionally reduce adverse weather conditions if we use this technology properly.
