UAE’s cloud seeding secret: How salt, AI, drones are used to make it rain in desert

In the UAE, scientists are actively enhancing rainfall through a sophisticated cloud-seeding program. Utilising aircraft, salt crystals and advanced AI, they coax existing clouds to release more water, boosting precipitation by up to 25%. This innovative "rain-tech" is a cost-effective strategy to combat severe water scarcity in the arid region, offering a vital lifeline.
