WeatherTec Ionization Technology enhances rainfalls in semi-arid regions covering thousands of km². The Ionization increases natural rainfall development by mimicking the sun’s ionization and is completely environment-friendly without generating any waste products.

Ionization enhances the effects of the sun

The Ionization Technology is based on charging aerosols in the atmosphere with the 3^rd generation WeatherTec Emitter Stations at the ground. The aerosols carry negative charges to the clouds which enhance condensation processes and growth of water particles, e.g. liquid drops and ice structures by triggering the natural microphysical processes in the clouds. When entering the influenced area, rain cells grow in size, strengthen rainfall intensity, and extend their life-span. WeatherTec experts have gathered many years of experience to control this process in over 150 rainfall enhancement cases on three continents where they increased the amount of precipitation.

Ionization is completely environmentally friendly

WeatherTec Ionization Technology is completely environmentally friendly as just negative ions are generated. Such negative ions are employed in hospitals and offices by numerous “ionizers” to create a better health or work environment. Furthermore, no chemicals are used or waste products left afterwards like in other rainfall enhancement technologies (i.e. cloud seeding by planes). Experts believe that this is by far the largest source for additional freshwater on earth and has been defined by the Munich Security Conference as “Black Swan Technology”: the right solution at the right time with global impact for an imminent problem.
