What Is Cloud Seeding
Cloud seeding is the process of introducing substances, such as silver iodide or dry
ice, into clouds to increase precipitation. By altering the cloud structure, this
technique aims to enhance rainfall or snowfall in targeted areas.

History 1 1946
The first successful cloud seeding

Of Cloud experiment was conducted by


Vincent Schaefer at General

Seeding
Electric Research Laboratory.

2 1950s-1960s
Cloud seeding techniques were
further developed and used for
weather modification, especially in
the United States and the Soviet
Union.

3 21st Century
Cloud seeding continues to be used
globally, with various countries and
organizations experimenting with
different methods and approaches.

Benefits Of Cloud Seeding
Increased Precipitation Agricultural Impacts
Cloud seeding can enhance rainfall and snowfall, Increased precipitation can benefit agriculture by
helping to address water scarcity and drought providing more water for crops and livestock,
conditions in targeted regions. improving crop yields and food security.
