Cloud seeding is a form of weather modification.


And it is being used by NASA and officials in
drought prone areas (nowadays California - USA)
to get more rain.

This image explaining cloud seeding shows the
chemical either silver iodide or dry ice
being dumped onto the cloud, which then
becomes a rain shower.


The usual intent of cloud seeding is to increase
precipitation (rain or snow), but hail and fog
suppression are also widely practiced in airports.


Since 1981, the Santa Barbara County Water Agency
conducts a weather modification program better known
as " cloudseeding " to augment rainfall and runoff in
watersheds behind the major water reservoirs.


In other words, they disperse substances into the
air to enhance cloud condensation or ice nuclei.

Weather Modification: Cloud Seeding mechanism.

In 2009, Sierra Nevada officials used a silver iodide
solution to fight another California drought.


And the State of California - USA (and Colorado)
still plans using weather modification as part of its
new 2013 Water Plan.


Moreover, drones bring in new economical solutions
for cloud seeding.


The state of Nevada was one of six selected test
sites by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) in December 2013.


The Nevada government is hoping to break into
the global weather modification international market
by working with this new technology.


Indeed, this strange method is used worldwide.

I this video, watch NASA launch a massive
rocket that results in a downpour of rain:



NASA makes their own rain clouds.

The most common chemicals used for cloud
seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide

and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).

Silver iodide can cause temporary incapacitation
or possible residual injury to humans and mammals
with intense or continued but not chronic exposure.

However it has no or only negligible environmental
impacts.


So weather modification is really happening !
