Masdar Institute Files Patent for Innovative Cloud Seeding Material that Could Trigger More Rainfall from Clouds

This web article discusses the progress made by a Masdar Institute research team working on rainfall enhancement through cloud-seeding by nanotechnology. The project, which is funded by the UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science, aims to guarantee water security for the UAE by facilitating regeneration of groundwater reserves, increasing agricultural outputs, and decreasing the dependence of UAE on energy-intensive seawater desalination.
