Can anti-hail systems affect drought in wetlands?

Anti-hail systems and their possible repercussions in drought are discussed on numerous occasions. There is a system that is activated when it is expected that there will be precipitation in the form of hail and some planes launched by the State spray silver iodide to dissolve the clouds, avoiding hail and damage to crops. This has already been reported numerous times as something truly harmful.

Does the anti-hail system affect drought in wetlands?

The Laguna de Gallocanta, a wetland in Spain, is suffering a severe drought after five consecutive years. Almost 300 farmers from Guadalajara, Soria, Zaragoza and Teruel They have come together to discuss who is responsible for the fact that the fields are drying up due to a lack of rainfall.

Farmers have reported "suspicious flights" that appear when rain clouds are about to form and then disappear without falling. Silver iodide is a chemical compound that helps dissolve cloud formation and dissipates storm clouds.

Although farmers are not physicists or meteorologists, they claim to know heaven and earth, having worked all their lives depending on them. However, from the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (Igme) they declare that, halfway through the investigation, "There is still no conclusive data" to establish a relationship between the anti-hail generators and Gallocanta rainfall, explains the person in charge of the study.

What has been confirmed is that rainfall has decreased to a greater extent in the Gallocanta watershed compared to the rest of the peninsula since this compound is used to prevent hail.

The research has obtained data on the concentration of silver iodide in the soil, which, although not very high, exceed the limits allowed by the legislation on land use.

For the climatologist and presenter on the weekends of El Tiempo in Castilla-La Mancha Media, Jonathan Gómez Cantero, is "Absolutely impossible" to cause drought, and clarifies that the silver iodide technique is used to "manipulate meteorological conditions, not climatic ones."

Avoid hail with silver iodide

Silver iodide is a chemical compound that acts as a substance that attracts moisture, that is, hygroscopic. When the silver iodide comes into contact with the clouds and manages to work (since in many cases it is useless) it causes the drop to fall before it freezes. This is done to prevent hail and the damage it can cause.

However, the expert affirms that silver iodide has a contaminating risk for soils and wetlands, since it is a metal that, if it permeates the tissues of animals, can become a real problem for the entire food chain and even reach our body, as in the case of mercury.

However, it reiterates that "There is no climate manipulation", as well as "there are no chemical trajectories or chem trails", as suggested by "urban legends". They consider it necessary to give a talk to the farmers so that they stop thinking that they want to steal the rain.

The spokesperson for the farmers' platform affirms that this conflict is born as a result of a lack of legislation on this. There are numerous technical opinions on the subject. Some studies indicate that iodide has no effect; others say that the rain evaporates; others, that it diverts it to neighboring areas; and others, that what is achieved is that it rains more.

In addition, the spokesman asks why he, when he buys herbicide, has to show a professional card, and say when and where he is going to throw it away. However, the Government is giving permits to contaminate the soil they cultivate.

On the subject of chem trails, there is much written and the truth is that it is difficult to know if it is true or not, given the great variety of opinions and hidden interests. And you, what do you think of all this?
