Artificial Rain: First Cloud-seeding Trial Conducted in Parts of Delhi

Delhi has conducted its first cloud-seeding trial, using aircraft to disperse silver iodide and sodium chloride over areas such as Burari and Karol Bagh. The initiative, led by the Delhi government in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, seeks to trigger artificial rainfall to wash out particulate pollution. This trial reflects a significant shift in Delhi’s environmental strategy; from reactive pollution control to proactive, technology-driven interventions. While cloud seeding has been used in other parts of the world, its application here underscores how water-industry thinking must increasingly overlap with meteorology and atmospheric…
