Rainfall: Physical Process, Measurement, Data Analysis and Usage in Hydrological Investigations integrates different rainfall perspectives, from droplet formation and modeling developments to the experimental measurements and their analysis, to application in surface and subsurface hydrological investigations. Each chapter provides an updated representation of the involved subject with relative open problems and includes a case study at the end of the chapter. The book targets postgraduate readers studying meteorology, civil and environmental engineering, geophysics, agronomy and natural science, as well as practitioners working in the fields of hydrology, hydrogeology, agronomy and water resource management. Presents comprehensive coverage of rainfall-related topics, from the basic processes involved in the drop formation to data use and modeling Provides real-life examples for practical use in the form of a case study in each chapter

Challenging research activities by IRRA Scientists have developed an “Innovative Rainmaking Technology '' which is scientifically and practically proven in Laboratory cloud chambers and the atmosphere up to 75m altitude, as Ref. “Laser induces condensation and water drop formation in laboratory clouds chamber & atmosphere”. Now, IRRA scientists have developed two research project proposals, as below: 1) “Artificial rainmaking by Peta Watt (1015Watt) double-core Laser system from ground initiation of Endothermic Reactions, as similar natural lightning phenomena in the atmosphere”. It covers ~16 Km2, an area... Estimated cost: 9.02 crore in Indian rupees (US$0.72 million). 2) Artificial rainmaking by using high-power terawatt (1012 Watt) mobile Laser Which initiates endothermic reactions, as a similar natural lightning phenomenon, onboard Aircraft with multiple lightning strikes in the atmosphere”. It covers ~450 Km2, an area...& estimates cost 230 crores (US$28.75 million). IRRA scientists have prepared a new project proposal with a design, budget, estimate, work plan, etc. on “Artificial rainmaking by laser System, which initiate endothermic reactions as a natural lightning phenomenon, onboard Aircraft & Ground in the Atmosphere,” which is helpful for demonstrations in the atmosphere, described in this book as “Artificial Rain Production by Endothermic Reactions.” IRRA Scientists would like to collaborate/partner with any Government of the country, Environment Science and Technology Department / Science and technology Institution/Foundation Company, etc. for a Demonstration of “Innovative rainmaking Technology used for Artificial Rain on large scale by Laser systems as similar natural Lightning phenomena on board aircraft from from ground in the atmosphere” for three years, measuring & fixing atmospheric parameters such as ex.- temperature, pressure, humidity etc. for maximum rainmaking in the atmosphere . IRRA Group developed a challenging research project, “Innovative rainmaking technology by Laser system similar to natural lightning phenomena in the atmosphere ". This technology is scientifically and practically proven in laboratory cloud chambers as well as in the atmosphere. This includes "Laser-induced condensation and formation of water drops in laboratory cloud chamber as well as in the atmosphere". IRRA Scientists aim for a “Green revolution in the whole World for all human beings”. Please let us know if you have any suggestion or comments! Without any hesitation, IRRA scientists...

A baton twirler fights the rain to save her neighborhood parade

"Annie Bell can't escape the dust. It's in her hair, covering the windowsills, coating the animals in the barn, in the corners of her children's dry, cracked lips. It's 1934 and the Bell farm in Mulehead, Oklahoma is struggling as the earliest storms of The Dust Bowl descend. All around them the wheat harvests are drying out and people are packing up their belongings as storms lay waste to the Great Plains. As the Bells wait for the rains to come, Annie and each member of her family are pulled in different directions. Annie's fragile young son, Fred, suffers from dust pneumonia; her headstrong daughter, Birdie, flush with first love, is choosing a dangerous path out of Mulehead; and Samuel, her husband, is plagued by disturbing dreams of rain. As Annie, desperate for an escape of her own, flirts with the affections of an unlikely admirer, she must choose who she is going to become."--Syndetics
