Can we drive the clouds susceptible for cloud seeding for rains to the places we desire?

Question

IN AP, MAharashtra,Karnataka experts are planning this program to have rains when the drought conditions prevail.

Answer 1

The problem with THAT is; often times during a drought- there aren't enough of the right kind of clouds to seed. Moreover, on the chance that the seeding actually WORKS, there's always a chance you might succeed TOO well- & cause a devastating flood that wipes out everything you were trying to save in the first place. And what if those actively seeded rain clouds drift over a neighboring country & cause a big flood there?- Then there's REALLY gonna be a "storm" of protest! To date, we still don't know enough about Mother Nature- to mess with her. And if you want proof, check out Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth".

Answer 2

I think they tried it several times before with iodine power or something with mixed results. I know China have tried lot of seeding during dry seasons. It may be more common than anybody think. I'm not too sure though.
