Interesting how the UAE uses cloud seeding to boost rainfall by up to 35% annually, but I wonder about the long-term environmental effects of those silver iodide particles.
The fact that 42% of Dubai’s water now comes from recycled sources is impressive, but isn’t the energy cost of desalination still a huge carbon footprint?
I read that the UAE’s aquifers are being recharged using treated wastewater, but is that really sustainable given the minimal rainfall? Feels like a band-aid.

I never realized the city’s reservoirs can hold enough water for 90 days of emergency supply — that’s better planning than most countries I know.

Smart move integrating AI sensors to detect leaks in the pipeline network — they claim it saved 20% water loss in just two years.
