It’s So Hot The Country Had To Create It’s Own Rain worth $15 million

In Nigeria it rains almost every week, I wouldn’t lie I complain about it because whenever rain falls, I just consider that day an uneventful day. This is because of the roads, some of the street roads in my estate are not constructed and they get muddy making the road difficult to drive or walk on. But that aside, that’s my personal issue. The farmers on the other hand are happy for the rain because it helps their plant grow and that’s their source of living.

But arid countries like Dubai don’t have that luxury of constant rain fall. Just like the saying “One Man’s Trash Is another Man’s Treasure”. Well I can’t imagine what it feels living in a country with that high temperature. Sometimes when Nigeria becomes hot we complain a lot but it’s not as hot as the country Dubai. Imagine living in a country where the temperature is hitting 50 degrees Celsius.

Like any considering country that cares for its citizens, the government decided to create its own artificial rain using drones. These drones are meant to fly high in the sky to release electrical charge to utter the cloud. These charges enable the cloud to be cajoled into clumping thus producing rain. These electrical charges were delivered to the cloud through drones.

This technology is phenomenal and life changing for them as this will increase their annual rainfall. I guess this will help the improvement of their agricultural sector.

They called this technique cloud seeding that is the precipitation has been improved through the purpose of enhancing the condensation to trigger a downpour of rain.

And of course this doesn’t come cheap as it cost the country $15 million to achieve.
