# Making it rain: Why more and more countries are turning to cloud seeding. * Countries are increasingly embracing the controversial practice of cloud seeding as global water demand continues to rise. * Iran recently sprayed clouds with chemicals as part of a push to boost rainfall to tackle the country’s worst drought in decades, while India unsuccessfully experimented with cloud seeding to combat air pollution in Delhi. Augustus Doricko, CEO of Rainmaker, a California-based cloud seeding company, said there are two dynamics at play that seem to be rekindling people's interest in the technology — both in the U.S. and across the world. Yet, despite its name, Doricko said the company's cloud seeding projects are mostly designed to make it snow. "The other concept of why more countries may be embracing cloud seeding technologies is that it's currently one of the only options to enhance increasingly stressed localized water resources or help mitigate regional air pollution by using Earth's natural atmospheric systems as a viable water source," McDonough said.

## Planned Weather Modification through Cloud Seeding. One tool available for mitigating some of these weather impacts is planned weather modification through cloud seeding. Planned weather modification programs benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the physical processes responsible for desired modification effects. Recent improvements in the composition and techniques for dispersion of seeding agents, observational technology, numerical cloud models, and in physical understanding of cloud processes permit ever more detailed design and targeting of planned weather modification effects, and more accurate specification of the range of anticipated responses. Rigorous attention to evaluation of both operational and research programs is needed to help develop more effective procedures and to improve understanding of the effects of cloud seeding. Weather modification techniques other than cloud seeding have been used in various areas of the world for short periods of time to achieve goals similar to those of cloud seeding. 1) Efforts should continue to improve understanding of the targeted cloud and precipitation processes in planned modification.

WASHINGTON—Today, the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency held a hearing titled “Playing God with the Weather — a Disastrous Forecast.” During the hearing, members analyzed the federal government’s role in weather control and geoengineering activities and any potential underlying consequences of such involvement. * Dr. Pielke testified that “*[First], Congress should enact legislation to improve oversight of weather modification activities, including first requesting an assessment from the national academy of sciences that precisely quantifies what is known and unknown about the effectiveness of weather modification projects to date, and clarifying the prospects for ever being able to achieve certainty in quantifying that effectiveness. Subcommittee Chairwoman Greene: “*Mr. Martz?*”. Mr. Martz: “*So, obviously, the natural energy flows in and out of the Earth’s atmosphere*.”. Dr. Pielke: “*Yes. For all the effort that’s been put into weather modification, if it is having an effects, they’re not large enough that we can really see them very clearly*.”. Rep. Gill: “*Dr. Pielke, could you just briefly explain the difference between cloud seeding and geoengineering?*”.

Until now, the original approach to understanding risk and managing the first mile has created a significant visibility gap, generating supply-chain wide uncertainty and growing business cost. Yet with satellite imagery and AI, businesses can gain greater insight into their sourcing regions and understand where may be most susceptible to flooding based on recent weather events. With advanced remote sensing capabilities, satellites offer a continuous, bird’s-eye view of sourcing regions and the risks from extreme weather. A successful supply chain is one that can integrate predictive models and environmental risk insights into their planning cycles in order to reduce exposure, limit losses, ensure operational efficiency and act faster. The reality is that companies that are able to detect risk and monitor the success of harvests throughout the year, then allowing preventative action, will be the ones that succeed as extreme weather events continue to expand risk posture in the coming decade.
