Cloud Seeding Efforts Continue at Jaipur's Ramgarh Dam
Scientists are trying to make it rain over a dry lake in India using a new method.
They are using a drone to check the weather and see if they can create rain artificially.
This is like when you throw seeds to help plants grow.
The first attempt was stopped because people's phones interfered with the drone.
The plan is to keep trying for two more months to see if they can fill up the lake.
This drone method is different than how rain was created previously with an aircraft.
Cloud seeding drill continues over Ramgarh Dam in Jaipur.
A drone was flown to assess meteorological conditions and collect data.
The pilot project aims to induce rain over the dry dam using drones.
The initial attempt on July 30 was delayed due to connectivity issues.
The drill is set to continue for the next two months.
