UAE to explore innovative rain-inducing concept to solve water scarcity!

UAE to explore innovative rain-inducing concept to solve water scarcity! A team is set to examine the electrical properties of clouds through a combination of theoretical and experimental work. The UAE is collaborating with a team of leading meteorologists to develop a potentially ground-breaking technology in cloud seeding, to address the country's water scarcity challenges. The concept revolves around the 'electrical seeding' of clouds, a theoretical concept that studies the effect of electrical charges on rain-bearing clouds. Discussions are ongoing between senior officials at the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), and Prof. Giles Harrison, who specializes in Atmospheric Physics at the University of Reading, and with Keri Nicoll, a NERC Independent Research Fellow at the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading. Harrison, who is also a Second Cycle awardee associated with the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science, will
