We have heard of seasonal rains and unseasonal rains and such scenes are also seen every day. but now round cloud seeding Is of artificial rain occurring from. worldwide In many countries, water is rained by putting seeds in the clouds. To reduce pollution in Delhi also As such Did Went, Who failed proved Happened, And So And This But Politics Too yes Went,
So Come A.B.P. explainer In understand Are That clouds In Seed by putting How would have been rain, Delhi In cloud seeding failed Why Hui And Now Ahead What will be,
Question 1- cloud seeding What is it and how does it happen?
answer- Imagine that there is a big cloud in which water droplets are floating. But these drops are so small that they cannot join together and form rain. In such a situation, scientific aircraft or uav ccloud seeding In the name of ‘seeds’ are sown in the clouds. seeds i.e. silver iodide, potassium iodide And substances like salt. These seeds make water droplets stick together and then they become heavy and become rain. this only cloud seeding It is said that it means artificial rain.
This technology started in America in the 1940s. For the first time in India in 1957 in Maharashtra Solapur I was tried for drought. Used to reduce pollution in Delhi, so that the particles in the air i.e. dust and smoke are washed away by the rain. But also remember that this is technology, not magic.
IIT Director of Kanpur professor Manindra agarwal scientists say attitudes If seen from this, it is an easy process Is. We have a very fine mixture of salt in the clouds spray We do. If there is enough moisture in the clouds, which condensation i.e condensation It happens. If there is enough moisture in the clouds, it rains. cloud seeding This is what is called.
Question 2- How serious has the pollution become in Delhi? cloud seeding was needed?
answer- IQAir According to the 2025 report, Delhi is the most polluted city in the world. in the air of Delhi PM 2.5 (fine particles) level 100 microgram Per safecubic which resides above a meter WHO of safe limit safe limit (5 mcg/m³) Which is 20 times more than. october in 2025 Diwali After firecrackers, stubble burn and factories Because of this pollution was at its peak.
30 october Delhi at 12 noon Air quality index (AQI) 356 was, which’Very poor, category Comes in. It causes respiratory diseases, eye diseases Janal And there is a risk of increasing asthma in children.
Question 3- In Delhi cloud seeding How did it happen and what were its consequences?
answer- On September 25, Delhi government IIT with Kanpur MoU Signed. total 5 trials Plan Were done, the expenditure of which was about Rs 3.21 crore. directorate General of Civil aviation i.e DGCA ne 1 october from 30th November permission Gave. India metrological Department (IMD) ne weather data Gave.
cloud seeding first of trial 23 october happened on, but They demo trial Was. 28 october Two reals at 2 pm and 4 pm trial Happened. Kesana 206h aircraft Fly from Kanpur and Meerut airfield But land Did. of Delhi Burari, North Karol Orchard, Mayur Vihar, cloudy, khekra, Sadakpur And Bhojpur In cloud seeding done,
Question 4- Then in Delhi cloud seeding Why did it fail?
answer- imd and manindra agarwal Its failure Let us tell you 3 big reasons…
1. Decrease in moisture in clouds: The moisture level in the atmosphere was only 10-15%, which cloud seeding Too little for. For this there should be at least 50% moisture. Manindra agarwal Said, ‘It could not rain due to lack of moisture in the clouds. imd by Humidity Said to be 10-15%, which is typical of the dry season in winter.
2. Unfair Weather Conditions: The air remains dry in the post-monsoon and winter seasons, which cloud seeding Not suited for. Even though the wind speed was minimal, the spread of particles remained limited. Manindra agarwal said, ,28 october There was very little moisture in the clouds in Delhi on and for this reason cloud seeding The results were not as expected.,
3. Technical and seasonal problems: cloud seeding It is successful only when the clouds are already full of moisture. In case of Delhi there were clouds, but not enough for rainfall. This experiment was done in 1957 and 1972 for drought management, but for the first time for pollution control. Experts say that this is not a long term solution, but emergency There is a solution.
Question 5- Delhi cloud seeding But what was the political drama?
answer- The Delhi government aims to improve air quality before winter, when pollution is at its highest. try this environment action Plan Is part of 2025. trial from which data Will get that in the future cloud seeding Will help in implementing it on a large scale. But due to its failure, the opposition started attacking continuously.
AAP Neta Saurabh Bhardwaj by Video By making this of Delhi Government trial Made fun of. He said laughingly, ,4:30 It’s o’clock, there is no rain. even in the rain fraudNo sign of artificial rain is visible. They might have thought that God Indra will rain and the government will show the expenditure.,
Meanwhile, Delhi Youth Congress President Akshay lacquer Filed a complaint at Sansad Marg police station alleging theft of rain worth crores of rupees. Akshay said that by spending crores of rupees, BJP leaders have only won applause. Due to this, neither clouds rained nor BJP people were seen.
Question 6- In Delhi cloud seeding What will be done next for,
answer- Manindra agarwal Said that we will continue our efforts further. 30 in Delhi october also to cloud seeding It was supposed to happen, but was postponed due to lack of moisture in the clouds. As soon as there is good moisture in the clouds, then again cloud seeding Will be done.
Question 7- worldwide where in cloud seeding happened and succeeded,
answer- Many times before in India cloud seeding It is done. It was used for the first time in 1983 and 1987. Other than this Tamil Nadu The government in 1993-94 cloud seeding Due to which the problem of drought was reduced. In 2003, the Karnataka government also cloud seeding Had it done. Apart from this, Maharashtra Solpur In cloud seeding Due to which 18 compared to normal, It rained a lot.
- worldwide China is at the forefront in this matter and there cloud seeding For AI Is also used. in china tens This is done in lakh square kilometer area.
- UAE Of desert even in areas cloud seeding Artificial rain is made through this.
- Even in the drought-hit states of America, it is used extensively for agricultural purposes. cloud seeding Is performed. Sometimes it is also used to extinguish forest fires.
- saudi Arab recently to save the land from becoming barren cloud seeding Has started.
