Innovative Solution for:

Volcano Ash Clouds

A solution to Iceland Volcano and Ash Clouds

The solution:
In fact,the simplest solution is based on precipitating the ash or depositing the ash cloud by water spray.
It would have been tried from the few days of starting eruption of the volcano. Purpose was to stop the ash spreading over large areas from the point of eruption.Distribution of ash cloud from volcano is equivalent to the formation of forest fire and consequent smoke cloud.The idea is only in reducing the ash spread rather than stopping the volcano eruption in difference to the forest fire where water is sprayed to control/stop the fire and the spread of smoke.

In the particular case of Iceland,it would have been possible to spray water or even ice/snow particles on areas surrounding the point of eruption depending on the priority areas based on population/city areas etc.
It is understood that such ice/snow /water spraying vessel system is possibly available/stationed in the area.
