Summary
Drought grips nearly 60% of the U.S., with over 10% in extreme conditions, threatening agriculture, ecosystems, and water supplies. Enter Rainmaker, a startup using custom drones, radar, and silver iodide to seed clouds and generate targeted rain — currently testing in Alaska’s ideal climate. In one test, they produced 19 million gallons in just three hours. While scaling remains a challenge, their goal is clear: prove this tech can reliably boost water where it’s needed most — and win public trust to make it happen.
