Some challenges remain for draught areas apparently:
“Meteorological drought is defined as a shortfall in precipitation over a certain time period, typically over a long period of time like months. This means that there is a lack of precipitation in a region that comes from a lack of moisture in the air. Because moisture is the first ingredient for cloud seeding to produce rain, cloud seeing cannot be used as a solution to create rain during drought conditions.”
