 years of technological efforts beginning in the 1950s at one of the largest industrial conglomerates in the United States. Ionization rainfall generation technology has been used for fog dissipation during the cold war, as well as rainfall generation and hail reduction in a number of locales over the decades. Weather forecasting models, computing power plus ground-based radar networks have allowed weather forecasting to improve exponentially over the past decade. Cloud condensation nuclei and the water cycle are now broadly accepted science. Water scarcity has unfortunately reached critical levels throughout North America and Europe. Federal and local governments, and Fortune 500 companies all recognize the urgency of action as water becomes a social justice issue. Traditional cloudseeding involves the use of chemicals dispensed from aircraft at precise moments of raincloud formation, creating potential risks (such as environmental concerns and unintended downstream consequences, for example, small concentrations of chemical substances affecting cloudseeding-produced rain). Desalination plants offer an alternative technology for increasing the supply of potable water but such process is highly energy intensive, expensive and requires transportation from the coast to inland clients. Ionization rainfall generation technology allows for lower operating costs at scale and provides a method that does not use chemicals in the rainfall generation process. Both chemical and ionic approaches have been utilized for weather modification, including rainfall generation, hail reduction, and cloud dispersal. 44 Historically, piloted aircraft (e.g. cropping) or drones delivered chemicals into clouds at the right time in order to enhance rainfall. However, ionized rainfall generation technology is ground-based, capitalizing on natural updraft airflow. Based on third party trials in Oman, the operating range of RWT’s ionized rainfall generation equipment is expected to be considerable, as it will be reliant upon natural updrafts to carry the ions into clouds with sufficient water vapor to condense and form rain droplets. Such third-party testing has demonstrated that the equipment’s reliance on natural updrafts would result in it being powered by a minimal source of energy, approximately 600kWh annually based on 100 hours of operation per month, which is approximately the amount required in one year by an average household oven. Moreover, as the technology is developed, RWT intends to continue working on ways to maintain low and efficient energy usage. Ionized rainfall generation technology does not allow rainfall to be created. It may enhance the amount and possibility of rainfall when conditions are appropriate in the atmosphere and cloud formation is underway in an approximately 40-mile radius, according to third-party testing.
