About Rainmaker
Our Mission
At Rainmaker, our vision is informed by our values. Our mission is to use proven and reliable technologies to combat water scarcity and create more beauty and abundance in the natural world.
We are running out of freshwater.
Water scarcity is a near-term crisis with global consequences. In the United States alone, more than 80M people are affected by drought.
Critical lifelines of food production, infrastructure, and reliable water supply are under strain, threatening stability at home and security abroad.
CLOUD SEEDING IS THE WAY
Cloud seeding is radically efficient
Cloud seeding works with nature to deliver freshwater at scale. With just one gram of cloud seeding agent, we can generate over 10,000 gallons of rainfall.
Desalination doesn't scale
Energy-intensive, geographically constrained, capital-heavy, and slowed by permitting—desalination is bottlenecked at every stage.
Water pipelines are economically impractical
Moving water from coast to inland demand centers is too costly for large-scale use.
Rainmaker Research
Science, Research, and Transparency.
Rainmaker's embedded research organization uses the best available science to validate results and develop responsible operations, with a dedication to transparency and scientific rigor as a core ethos.

The Truth
Though cloud seeding has been in use around the world for 80 years, we recognize that people have valid questions about how the technology works. We are committed to helping the public understand the truth about what cloud seeding can and cannot do.
