Why Ionization Cloudseeding

What it will take to address Global Water Scarcity

Water scarcity is a major global issue that is dramatically worsening. The gap between supply and demand is widening as the world population has doubled over the last half-century while water resources remain finite. The human impact is devastating and the economic impact is staggering.

If prices continue to rise, over 3/4 of low-income US residents will face unaffordable water bills by 2030. 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Water scarcity could cost some regions 6% of GDP.

Desalination, Chemical Cloudseeding, and Ionization Cloudseeding are the primary additional water supply solutions included in plans for water-scarce regions.

Each of these solutions can fulfill ~5-10% of the estimated water demand, and each has pros and cons.

Historical Trial Results and Key Factors

Analysis of the data collected in the trial of Rain Enhancement Tech’s solution shows that ionization led to a statistically significant enhancement in positive rainfall in gauges located up to 70 km downwind of the ionizers.
A headline analysis specified prior to commencement of the trial resulted in an estimate of 16.23% enhancement relative to rainfall that would have fallen without any ionization, while a more sophisticated after the event analysis increased this estimate to 17.64% enhancement, but for statistical measurement.
