If the weather is favorable, the Delhi government may conduct its first test of artificial rain on Tuesday. An attempt was made on Monday as well, but due to rain and poor visibility in Kanpur, the IIT Kanpur aircraft and team could not reach Delhi. A review meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday to assess the feasibility of the test.
Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, "The Army aircraft will arrive in Delhi from Kanpur on Tuesday. If the weather is favorable, we can conduct the artificial rain test. Everything depends on the weather."
Artificial Rain to Combat Air Pollution in Delhi
This test, aimed at creating artificial rain to combat air pollution in the national capital, is part of the government's comprehensive strategy to reduce the deteriorating air quality during the winter months.
IIT Kanpur Takes Over Artificial Rain in Delhi
It is noteworthy that IIT Kanpur is responsible for the artificial rain test in Delhi. Officials said that preparations for the much-awaited artificial rain trial in Delhi are now complete. Just last week, a test flight was also conducted over Burari.
During the test, small amounts of silver iodide and sodium chloride compounds, used to induce artificial rain, were released from the aircraft. However, the atmospheric humidity level was less than 20 percent, whereas cloud seeding typically requires 50 percent humidity.
Suitable cloud formation is likely between October 28 and 30
Last week, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that the Meteorological Department had indicated the possibility of suitable cloud formation between October 28 and 30. In a post on Twitter, the CM said that if conditions remain favorable, Delhi could experience its first artificial rain on October 29.
However, due to adverse weather and monsoon conditions, the exercise has been postponed several times, including in late May, early June, August, September, and most recently, the second week of October.
