Abstract
Oman, one of the most water-scarce countries, experiences an arid desert climate with limited rainfall. This study investigates the impact of cloud seeding on increasing rainfall during the summers of 2015, 2016, and 2017, using data-driven analysis. Datasets provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources (MAFWR), along with data from weather stations and other sources, were thoroughly analyzed to assess the effects of cloud seeding.
