"There are some potential downsides that we don't think about too much," Robert Jackson, Stanford University's Earth Sciences Chair said in a 2017 interview on The Current. "One issue is where the rain would have fallen if you hadn't cloud seeded. Does a cloud seeding event in Alberta keep a farmer in Saskatchewan from getting rain that he or she might have received?"

Could they just be making it rain in the ocean and not over land?

If you mess with cloud formation, it's going to rain more in some places and less in others. Do it long enough and it can cause droughts. There is only so much water in the clouds, and if you make it rain in one place, it won't rain elsewhere. Seems like common sense.
