At present, not only India, but also many parts of Europe and the world including Germany are facing record breaking heat. At many places the situation has become so bad that even the railway tracks have started getting affected due to the extreme heat. Rising temperatures have made people's everyday life difficult. In such an environment, China has adopted a different and interesting method to get relief from the heat, which is now being discussed all over the world.
A system has been installed in a residential society in Shaanxi area of China, which provides light artificial rain from the roof of the building. This technology is being called “Rooftop Rain”. After its video surfaced on social media, people are surprised and are also giving their opinions on it. It is clearly visible in the video that a special type of mist cooling system has been installed on the roof of the building. Through this system, very fine water droplets are continuously released into the air. It looks as if it is raining lightly. Due to these fine drops, the surrounding temperature starts decreasing and people feel some relief from the heat.
It is being claimed about this technology that it can reduce the surrounding temperature by about 5 to 8 degrees Celsius in a few minutes. If this is really possible on a large scale, then it can prove to be very useful for areas suffering from extreme heat. The video of this unique system was shared by China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on her X (earlier Twitter) account. As soon as the video went viral, people all over the world started discussing this technology. Some people called it a great way to fight the heat, while many people also raised questions on other aspects of it.
The biggest discussion is regarding water consumption. Many users on social media say that it is not right to use so much water, especially at a time when water shortage remains a serious problem in many parts of the world. He believes that if artificial rain is made continuously like this, wastage of water may increase. Although some people also defended it. He says that it is possible that the water used in this system is collected again and recycled. If so, then wastage of water can be reduced to a great extent. However, no detailed official information has been revealed yet in this regard.
