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. The UAE is located in a dust hotspot that contributes to the arid climate. There is little to no rainfall, due to frontal systems from the west and northwest, which yields few inches of rainfall per year. This lack of rainfall has scientists and the government worried about water security in the future.

Due to industrialization and population growth, the demand for water has rapidly increased. Current resources are being depleted and scarcity issues are arising as climate change increases evaporation rates causing drought. 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. 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.
