| The aircraft had been under contract with the Desert Research Institute for cloud seeding experiments. |
|
| Upon learning of the hardships faced by residents and farmers due to the lack of water resources they set up a cloud seeding project. |
|
| Chinese officials say cloud seeding has helped to relieve severe droughts and water shortages in cities. |
|
| Some studies have suggested that cloud seeding actually reduces rainfall, or merely redistributes it. |
|
| Some say cloud seeding could ease the drought-related shortage of hydropower. |
|
| Cold cloud seeding, also known as glaciogenic seeding, involves firing silver iodide into clouds to trigger the formation of ice crystals. |
|
| To reduce the damage caused, governments and insurance companies have sponsored cloud seeding. |
|
| The Kenya government attempted cloud seeding back in the 1960s, but abandoned it after achieving disappointing results. |
|
| One factor hampering widespread use of cloud seeding in the South is the high start-up cost. |
|
| These proposed interventions range from ocean fertilization to large scale cloud seeding. |
|
| Silver iodide has been used in cloud seeding to artificially produce rain during droughts and as a photographic processing chemical. |
|
| By the time The Future of Arid Lands was published, techniques for modifying the weather, like cloud seeding, were just emerging. |
|
| It also developed radar technology for cloud seeding, now being used in more than 20 projects in six other countries. |
|
| Examples of aerosols include pesticides for crop dusting and dry chemicals for cloud seeding. |
|
| As the result of this being used for crop dusting and cloud seeding, the corrosive effects of the chemicals did considerable damage to the structure. |
|
| Mr. Barry of Denver Water describes cloud seeding as more art than science. |
|
| He also said the international climatology community had yet to recommend cloud seeding or other weather modification methods to resolve the ongoing drought. |
|
| Ian Searle is a true believer in the effectiveness of cloud seeding. |
|
| Crystalline silver iodide is useful in cloud seeding. |
|
| But in spite of its apparent potential, cloud seeding remains a controversial practice, and in some scientific circles, there is scepticism that such methods can offer a viable means of increasing water resources. |
|
|
|
| Warm cloud seeding, or hygroscopic seeding, was developed by South African scientists, who experimented with firing salt crystals using flares strapped to an aircraft wing. |
|
| Small silver iodide crystals are used in cloud seeding to cause rain. |
|
| Cloud seeding is a snowmaking technique that discharges minute particles of a chemical called iodide into winter storm clouds to create snow. |
