Can Cloud Seeding Fix Delhi's Toxic Air?
Two cloud seeding trials - to stimulate rainfall - were completed over parts of Delhi Tuesday afternoon. However, given the low moisture content in the clouds - 15 to 20 per cent - the chances of rain are low, NDTV's Science Editor, Pallava Bagla, said.
The Delhi government had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Institute of Technology (Kanpur) in September to carry out five trials, all of which are planned over northwest Delhi, at a cost of Rs 3.21 crore.
