Cloud seeding trials were conducted in many areas of Delhi on Tuesday (28 October). Now artificial rain is expected in some time. According to the information, if the weather cooperates, a second trial can also be conducted today.
The aircraft has returned to Meerut after trials. The plane took off from Kanpur this morning. Cloud seeding has been done in North Delhi and Outer Delhi on Tuesday.
Trial took place in these areas
Regarding this trial, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that cloud seeding trial was conducted today. This was done through Cessna plane, from Meerut the plane was flown to Delhi, cloud seeding took place in Khekra, Burari, Mayur Vihar and many areas.
The third trial will also take place today
He said that 8 flares were used, the entire process took about half an hour. The second and third trials will also take place today. It may rain anytime within 15 minutes to 4 hours. This shorty will continue like this for the next several days.
Experiments were conducted in these cities before Delhi
Let us tell you that this is the first time this technology has been used in Delhi. Earlier, cloud seeding has been used in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Experts believe that due to this artificial rain, the dust, smoke and harmful particles present in the air will settle down, which will improve the AQI. At present the air level in Delhi has reached ‘severe’ category. According to Environment Department officials, if this experiment is successful then it can be repeated again in the coming weeks.
Help of scientists of IIT Kanpur is being taken
Help of scientists from IIT Kanpur is also being taken in the cloud seeding project. IIT Kanpur has already worked on this technology and its scientists are giving technical advice to the Delhi government. The government hopes that this initiative will not only make Delhi’s air a little cleaner, but will also provide some relief to the citizens from pollution. This step is being considered an important experiment towards making the capital clean and breathable.
