Overview
In 1995, Thailand Royal Rainmaking Project was royally initiated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. Due to the fact that many Thai farmers were experiencing drought, he developed a solution to the water shortage.[1]
Background and History
The King of Thailand discovered that many counties and remote areas had faced problems because of drought.[2] In particular, Thai farmers were not be able to yield the crops. Consequently, crops would be damaged or not as productive which resulted in economic losses. As a result, this project debuted on July 20, 1969 by his plans. The first rainmaking process was done at Khao Yai National Park by scattering dry ice flakes over the top of cloud in the sky.[3] He received a gold medal for the Royal Rainmaking Project from the Brussels Eureka 2001 award as the invention that is beneficial to the world.[4][5]
Procedures
Step 1: Agitation
Utilizing hygroscopic chemicals, it stimulates a mass of air to rise higher to create humidity. This helps nature to form rain clouds, and it increases the potential amount of rainfall.[6]
Step 2: Fattening
Fattening of the rain clouds is done by scattering exothermic-hygroscopic chemicals to make droplets of water condense.[6]
Step 3: Attacking
Fly a plane through the heavy clouds to accelerate the process of raindrop formation. [6]
