Question

Why don't we use cloud seeding to relieve drought and fires in America?

Answer 1

Cloud seeding does not produce rain always and certain minimum conditions are required to produce rainfall through cloud seeding. Moreover It can produce rain only over a small area and it cannot be used to cover larger areas .As clouds are  moving,the rainfall may occur on a different place.The cost involved is also more.So,the process of cloud seeding is still a debatable one.
