"Uncovering the Mystery of Desert Greenery"

The United Arab Emirates is leading the way in combating desertification and water scarcity by investing in green technology, including cloud seeding to enhance rainfall in the arid region. With approximately 80% of its land being desert, the country is making significant efforts to turn its arid landscapes green, despite receiving less than 200 mm of rainfall annually. This transformation is crucial in a region where 12 of the 17 most "water-stressed" countries are located, and the UAE's investments in cloud seeding research are a key part of this initiative.
