Abstract

This study examines the relationship between cloud seeding and precipitation levels in agricultural areas of the Arequipa region, Peru, during 2024. Employing a quantitative approach with a non-experimental cross-sectional design and correlational scope, precipitation data were collected from both seeded and control zones. Results showed a 25.3% average increase in precipitation levels in seeded areas, with a high positive correlation (r > 0.8) between seeding frequency and observed increases. Statistical tests revealed significant differences (p < 0.005), validating the effectiveness of cloud seeding as a tool to alleviate water scarcity in semi-arid regions. Numerical simulations predicted outcomes with less than 3% deviation, underscoring the reliability of the applied models. However, the study highlights the need for long-term monitoring of environmental impacts. This research offers a robust scientific foundation for the strategic management of water resources in areas vulnerable to climate change.
