Cloud seeding is a weather modification process that involves artificially inducing or enhancing precipitation within clouds. This is typically achieved by dispersing seeding agents, such as silver iodide or potassium iodide, into clouds either from the ground or by aircraft. These seeding agents serve as nuclei around which cloud droplets form or ice crystals grow, thereby promoting the condensation or aggregation of water vapor. By enhancing the natural processes of cloud formation and precipitation, cloud seeding aims to increase rainfall or snowfall in specific regions, providing a potential means to alleviate drought conditions or enhance water resources. The global Cloud Seeding market value stood at US$135.17 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$192.73 million by 2029.
