There is a problem in many cities around the world when summer arrives, which is the high temperatures that can be reached. One of the countries that suffers the most from this is the United Arab Emirates , since it is a country that is located in a very desert area and where water is not abundant.
However, to solve this problem, the Asian country has decided to use drones in order to create artificial rain to cool the environment and thus make the heat not so scorching.
There are many companies and companies that use drones to facilitate their work . There are also many types of drones that exist and each one has different dimensions and serves for one thing and another.
Time control drones
Therefore, the United Arab Emirates is resorting to the use of drones capable of controlling the weather . The idea has been heavily invested (more than 10 million dollars) and it is not about drones that create rain on their own, but that collect the clouds to produce water and make it fall.
There have been more than 100 experiments that have been carried out to make this a reality. One of the problems was getting the water droplets large enough so that they did not disintegrate in the air until they fell to the ground. After several trials, it was possible to solve this problem and it was presented as a way to lower the temperatures in the city.
This system is being carried out in Dubai, the country’s most populous city, and signs are even being put up on the roads warning that the road may slip.
A use that creates a lot of controversy
This technique of seeding clouds and then releasing all the water inside is generating controversy since the weather events that occur naturally are being altered. In addition, there are experts who believe that this can cause flooding, although this can be controlled.
This mechanism is not the first used to try to create artificial rain, since there are products mainly used by people who are engaged in agricultural work who use a kind of product capable of creating cloud seeding in another way. This is being seen especially in the United States.
However, this product has been shown to be carcinogenic , so it is not a good option if it can harm the lives of people who use it.
Therefore, this technique applied by Dubai to create rain and thus lower the hot summer temperatures is perfect as long as it is perfectly controlled and guarantees the safety of all citizens of the country.
