Cloud Seeding Impact on Recent Floods in Iran Denied

Recent flash floods had nothing to do with the ongoing cloud seeding programs in the country, said the head of the National Cloud Seeding Research Center of Iran.
Following rumors on social media about the effect of cloud seeding on the heavy rainfall across the country, Farid Golkar told the Persian daily ‘Iran’ that  the "NCSRC is developing infrastructure and the last time we carried out an operation goes back to 2017."
According to Golkar, despite the fact that cloud seeding can increase rainfall, the scope is very limited and cannot exceed more than 140 kilometers.
