- <p>The Tehran water crisis has reached a red alert stage in the fall of 2025. The storage of the five main dams supplying Tehran is less than 12% of capacity.</p> <p>This scientific-technical proposal presents an 18-month pilot project with a budget of $90–140 million (average $126 million), aiming to increase precipitation by 9–22% in suitable clouds in the central Alborz basin using a combined hygroscopic (CaCO₃/CaCl₂) and glaciogenic (nano-encapsulated AgI) seeding method.</p> <p>This approach has been successfully tested in the UAE, China, and the USA, is completely safe, and is feasible with domestic facilities.</p> <p>Globally verified average effectiveness: 8–23% precipitation increase in seedable clouds.</p>
