As part of a plan to reduce the use of water, Saudi Arabia has launched the third phase of its rain project, Arab News reported today. The “cloud seeding” experiment of this project, which enables the clouds to absorb more moisture to broaden water droplets and force rain, is presently being carried out in the southwestern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. “The project will eventually help to increase the water resources of the Kingdom,” said Tarek Al-Samawi, a spokesman for the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment (PME).
