Rain in the United Arab Emirates? Both a blessing and a curse for the residents of the fast-growing city. While the few growing areas need water as urgently as the population itself, natural disasters are becoming increasingly common in major cities such as Dubai. Which are usually deliberately brought about by the government…
From December to March, Dubai experiences occasional rain. However, more than 100 mm per year is extremely rare. The entire region urgently needs water. The supply of liquid gold cannot keep up with rapid population growth: 800,000 people move to the Emirates every year. The desert state shares the problem with its neighbors.
The joy was even greater last year when the heavens opened their gates over Pakistan and showered copious amounts of rain on the earth. “The technology is a gift from the United Arab Emirates,” said the prime minister of the most populous province of Punjap. Technology? Yes, because in big cities like Lahore, nature has been given a helping hand for several years.
Artificial rain is intended on the one hand to reduce water shortages and on the other hand to purify the air and thus at least make air pollution more bearable. With its eleven million inhabitants, Lahore is one of the cities with the highest air pollution. That’s why they asked for help. And found what he was looking for in the United Arab Emirates.
