Artificial Weather Modification: “A need for precautionary approach and regulation”

Abstract

Inadvertent use of weather modification techniques by many countries including India and intentional intervention in natural weather and climatic cycles have raised many environmental concerns and discussions on liabilities of parties for any environmental damage that is being done, without developing coherent law to regulate the same. In the absence of regulation policies, lack of scientific and environment evaluation studies, research aims to highlight the need to develop a legal regime to regulate the use of these techniques and adopt them with a precautionary approach.
