In late November, Delhi's environment minister Gopal Rai sought permission from the central government to use cloud seeding to produce artificial rain to break the smog layer and reduce air pollution. The same proposal was made last year, but was not carried out due to unfavorable weather conditions.
The article from WIRED discusses the severe air pollution problem in India, particularly focusing on the innovative technological solutions being explored to mitigate this crisis. It highlights the use of artificial rain through cloud seeding, where drones and satellites are employed to enhance precipitation in polluted areas. This method involves dispersing silver iodide into clouds to encourage rain, which could help in washing away pollutants from the air. Additionally, the article mentions other tech-driven approaches like smog towers, which act like giant air purifiers, and the use of drones for monitoring pollution levels in real-time. Despite these technological interventions, the piece also underscores the challenges, including the need for more sustainable and widespread solutions, the high costs involved, and the necessity for policy changes and public awareness to address the root causes of pollution.
