I think, like mobile towers, localized cloud seeders at village level can be established so that any heavy rain in adjacent places can be attracted
It is possible to obtain rainfall information on real time basis. By using the info govt organizations can apply this tech to avoid excess rain in a place and share with adjacent villages.
There is no good evidence that ground-based cloud-seeding is effective. Airborne cloud-seeding is very much better (because the chemicals can be injected directly into the main body of the cloud) - but even this method has been subject to controversy.
There is at least a 20-minute delay between dosing (seeding) a particular cloud, and the associated rain (if any) reaching the ground. During that delay-period the cloud often moves, but its direction and speed of movement is not always the same from one week to the next.
