Drone-AI based Cloud Seeding used in Rajasthan

  • For the first time in India, cloud seeding technology enhanced with drones and artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to trigger artificial rain.
  • The pilot project is taking place in the Ramgarh Dam area of Jaipur, Rajasthan, with hopes of reviving the 129-year-old reservoir that has been dry for the past two decades and has not filled to capacity since 1981.
  • The initiative is a joint effort between GenX AI, an India-US-based technology company, and the Rajasthan Government.
  • Cloud seeding involves spraying chemicals such as sodium chloride into clouds, which act as condensation nuclei, causing water vapour to condense into raindrops.
