Rainmaker

Ending water scarcity with next-generation cloud seeding

Managing water scarcity is one way to respond to regional droughts; tapping the water in the sky to restore water abundance is another. Rainmaker has taken a technology familiar since the 1940s — cloud seeding — and modernized it using ground-based X‑band radar to spot pockets of supercooled liquid water in clouds already primed to release precip­i­ta­tion, together with purpose-built drones that disperse nucleating particles exactly where they’ll make the most difference. Radar and satellite data quantify the resulting snowfall or rainfall, turning a previously unmea­sur­able service into a billable one.
