Climate needs

The climate of the UAE is a very dry region aside from the coast and the border of the UAE and Oman, where there is high humidity[1]. The UAE is located in a dust hotspot that contributes to the arid climate[2]. There is little to no rainfall, due to frontal systems from the west and northwest, which yields few inches of rainfall per year[1] [3]. This lack of rainfall has scientists and the government worried about water security in the future[3].

Due to industrialization and population growth, the demand for water has rapidly increased[2]. Current resources are being depleted and scarcity issues are arising as climate change increases evaporation rates causing drought[1][4]. As a result, the UAE is looking to cloud seeding technologies to increase water security as well as renewability to combat water and food scarcity that may arise [4][5]. Research has predicted that drought frequencies and temperatures will continue increasing and cloud seeding hopes to provide an additional method of mitigation against future climate change[4].
