Persuasive Essay On Drought In Australia
Premier of Australia, Morris Iemma,
Currently we are in a water crisis that is part of the millennium drought. This drought has been going on for some years now and last year was the driest year on record for most of Australia. This drought was partly caused by lack of rainfall. A shortage of water is one of the main issues in third world countries. If we do not do something about this we may revert to being somewhat like a developing country. Our county needs fresh water that is portable and easily accessible. We need water for farming; as you know Australia has plenty of farmland and water is crucial to keeping crops and stock healthy. Also everybody needs fresh water for drinking and maintaining health.

Cloud seeding can be performed from the ground using a launcher with silver iodide cartridges, that get shot into the clouds. Or the process can be done from an aeroplane that releases the silver iodide into the clouds from above. Using aeroplanes is the preferred method as it is more accurate. Ground Based Cloud Seeding is used in places where there is low level clouds over difficult terrain.
Cloud Seeding was invented by Vincent Schaefer in 1946. He discovered this by making a miniature snowstorm in his …show more content…
The most obvious benefit is that it creates rain in an otherwise dry area. The costs of the process is known so farmers can calculate the cost of the process versus the profit from the crops. It can be performed by anyone with the right materials, however some of these materials can be difficult to acquire. It will also make many places easier to live. The ability to make known quantities of rain at regular intervals can provide farmers with certainty when choosing which crops to sow. The result of cloud seeding can open up more space / farmland in an otherwise dry area. This is good because Australia has many acres of desert which cannot be used because it is too dry due to lack of
