Delhi Cloud Seeding | Why Didn't Cloud Seeding Cause Rain In Delhi? What IIT Kanpur Director Said

Attempts to induce rain through cloud seeding in parts of Delhi on Tuesday were "not completely successful" because the moisture content in the clouds was low and the process is not a magic bullet for the problem of pollution, but an SOS solution, IIT Kanpur Director Manindra Agarwal has said. Speaking exclusively to NDTV's Shiv Aroor on Tuesday, Agarwal, whose institute is collaborating with the Delhi government to carry out the experiment, also said attempts will be made again on Wednesday, and they are hoping for a better result. Explaining that the mixture used by the team has only 20% silver iodide and the rest is a combination of rock salt and common salt, Agarwal said 14 flares were fired on Tuesday. "There hasn't been any rain so far. So, in that sense, it was not completely successful. But, unfortunately, the clouds that are present today do not have very high moisture content. I am told it was only up to 15-20%. So, the possibility of causing rain with such low moisture content is not very high. But this trial has given more confidence to our team that we can continue conducting them," the IIT Kanpur director said. "There have been conflicting reports of the predictions about rain today. Some say there will be rain, some say there won't be. But what our team found was that the cloud cover had very little moisture content. And this could be true about the part we flew over... So we do not expect any rain to occur today," he added. Agarwal said two more such flights will be conducted on Wednesday, and the process will continue when there is cloud cover. #CloudSeeding #ArtificialRain #Kanpur #NewDelhi #AirPollution #IITKanpur #IndiaMatters About NDTV (English news channel): NDTV is India's Most-Trusted News Broadcaster with the latest updates in news, sports, entertainment and much more from within India and around the world.
