Delhi air pollution: Why cloud seeding isn’t useful when most needed; IIT study cites dry air, short-lived impact
Delhi's winter air is too dry for effective cloud seeding, a new IIT Delhi study reveals. The research found limited moisture during peak pollution months, making interventions unreliable. Even when rain temporarily clears smog, pollution rebounds quickly due to ongoing emissions. Sustained emission reduction is highlighted as the only viable long-term solution.
