About Rainwater Tech™
Technology to Generate and Augment Rainfall
Rainwater Tech™ is dedicated to the mission of maintaining and restoring our precious water ecosystems. With rainfall generation technology, rainfall can be generated in regions that have seen a decline in recent decades, providing additional surface water and supporting the natural processes of aquifer recharge. No chemicals are used in the rainfall generation process.

How Ionization Technology Generates Rainfall

The image in the bottom right is a product rendering used for illustrative purposes only.
The rainfall generation platform ionizes the surrounding air – similar to how air purifiers work. The wind carries the charged particles into the cloud layer. On a cloudy day, when cloud condensation nuclei collide inside a cloud to form water droplets, the introduction of the charged particles increases the rate of those collisions, forming heavy rain droplets faster. And that makes more rainfall from the sky.

Our expected network of rain generation devices will be monitored around the clock, and when weather conditions are right, they will be activated to work with nature to increase rainfall. Rainwater Tech™ intends to develop and improve software and machine learning control systems to report on how much additional water has fallen by region where systems will be installed.
