I’ve seen people saying its due to cloud seeding is this true?
In: Planetary Science
Ecologies and geology “adapts” to their natural climate. Areas that receive lots of rain normally will have soil that is less compacted (due to fluid movement) and absorb and retain water naturally directing excess into nearby rivers and streams.
Deserts on the other hand, have compact and dry soil. This kind of soil is less able to absorb and retain lots of water. Hence an unusual amount of rain causes a lot of water to remain on the surface and this causes problems as the water flows and causes destruction over a wide area.
Cloud seeding cannot “create” water. If there are no clouds or insufficient clouds, then seeding is not very effective. Cloud seeding cannot evaporate water from the seas and control the winds that bring water vapor towards land as clouds. It is highly unlikely that cloud seeding had anything to do because the effect either works immediately or nothing happens. It can’t linger in the air for days.
