In contemporary times, the global water crisis represents one of the most critical challenges confronting humanity. International law bears significant responsibility in establishing an effective legal framework for the management of freshwater resources. A key dimension of this challenge concerns the legal regime governing water in the atmosphere, particularly regarding state interventions in precipitation processes, including artificial cloud seeding, which may have transboundary effects. This article, acknowledging the existing ambiguities in international law, examines the role of general principles of international law in defining the legal status of clouds and the international responsibility arising from related activities. In addition to these general principles, the study incorporates the work of the International Law Commission on the Responsibility of States for Dangerous Acts Not Prohibited under International Law as a guiding framework for understanding the legal implications of artificial cloud production.
