Drones to Enhance Rainfall in the UAE Soon

The UAE is investing more money in helping the country rain. Researchers are now using drones and electric shock technology to help make it rain.

Alya Al-Mazroui, director of the UAE’s rain-enhancement science-research program, explains the science behind the project.

As part of its fourth cycle, #UAEREP, managed by #NCM, continues to receive innovative pre-proposals supporting rain enhancement research from countries across the globe. For more: https://t.co/oco3Et71zb pic.twitter.com/QR5CLcmQyc

“Equipped with a payload of electric-charge emission instruments and customised sensors, these drones will fly at low altitudes and deliver an electric charge to air molecules, which should encourage precipitation.”
