Cloud seeding can increase rainfall and reduce hail damage to crops, but its use is limited


When an unexpected rainstorm leaves you soaking wet, it is an annoyance.



When a drought leads to fires, crop failures and water shortages, the significance of weather becomes vitally important.

Small amounts of rain can mean the difference between struggle and success.



For nearly 80 years, an approach called cloud seeding has, in theory, given people the ability to get more rain and snow from storms and make hailstorms less severe. But only recently have scientists been able to peer into clouds and begin to understand how effective cloud seeding really is.



In this episode of “The Conversation Weekly,” we speak with three researchers about the simple yet murky science of cloud seeding, the economic effects it can have on agriculture, and research that may allow governments to use cloud seeding in more places.
