After air temperatures in Istanbul were above seasonal norms and months without rain, occupancy rates at the dams fell to the lowest level in 10 years. According to data from the Istanbul Water and Sewerage Administration (ISKI), the occupancy rate of dams in Istanbul decreased to the level of 21 percent. The rain pump has started to be discussed again as a solution to eliminate the possible water shortage in Istanbul. In making statements on this issue, Orhan Şen, Professor of Meteorology at Istanbul Technical University, stated that if a rain pump is used, it can increase the rainfall by 15 percent or 30 percent and 30 percent is a lot of water. In addition, Şen claimed that Istanbul’s total annual rainfall is around 750 kg, and this year it has dropped around 500 kg and Istanbul has entered a drought.
“It can increase precipitation by 15 to 30 percent.”
Pro. Dr. Şen said: “The name rain bomb is very old. We don’t use the name rain pump, here we use rain boost. It is known to the world as a rain project. There are also benefits for Turkey referred to in this way. Because we are not doing anything that is not there. We are trying to increase something that happens. You fire cartridges from the side of a mountain, they are fired by a rocket and detonated there. Here is the name of the rain pump that comes from there. If you are trying to do it in Istanbul or Ankara, you cannot use that method. What are you going to do? It will be a plane. Tools will be attached to the wings of the aircraft and those cartridges will be attached. How many cartridges does the pilot want to fire by pressing a button, he burns it and comes out as smoke behind him, and the ones that come out are silver iodide particles. In general, it can increase precipitation by 15 to 30 percent, depending on the type of cloud. A large amount of 30 percent is actually Istanbul’s total annual rainfall around 750 kg. Now it is around 500 kg this year. So we went into drought in Istanbul. These are temporary solutions, not a permanent solution to the drought. Instead, we need to use water resources well, manage them well and plan water. “
“When the dams drop below 10 percent, the water runs out.”
Sen said that rain could be thrown at this time bomb, “made in Turkey did me yes, successfully”. Scientists and technicians can do this job. In fact, this type of aircraft and even in Turkey. They keep him there in an airport in our country. It takes place in the rainy winter season. It is done in the world and also in terms of agriculture. Not just like Istanbul. This two is made in Turkey with three aircraft where needed. This is not a foolproof solution. When the dams drop below 10 percent, the water runs out. Because there is deep water and you cannot get that water. The bomb is not enough and there are living beings there. Currently, about 20 percent of the dams I am talking about Istanbul. If it is done, it can be done at these times or it can be scheduled throughout the year. We can sit down and do it. Because it was done in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir before and it was successful. It must be done at the local and national level. In a rain increase project, when you go to a cloud, you can make a maximum of three or five rain wishes, which does not exceed 20 grams, that is, 100 grams, almost silver is fine.
