As promised, we’ve linked our white paper and relevant data.\n\nIn the future, Rainmaker will protect and restore glaciers with man-made snowfall.\n\nImmediately, this demonstration shows how Rainmaker will add new water to the Colorado River and Great Salt Lake in the coming months.\n\nWe turned around this analysis and white paper just a couple days after operating. There are many data sources I want to deepen our understanding of the atmosphere and increase our provable production; we’re building the instruments to collect that data in subsequent operations. But at Rainmaker, we won’t tout LOIs, simulations, or lab tests. What matters is physically measuring that you’ve affected the atmosphere; proving that we’ve produced water. We prefer sharing only the tech that has proven to make more water for farms, industries, and ecosystems in need.\n\nExpect a regular cadence of these from us as we build the best atmospheric science lab in the world. Feedback is welcome in the interim.\n\nRainmaker Century.\n\nhttps://www.rainmaker.com/blog/alaska-validation-report","author":{"name":"Augustus Doricko","username":"ADoricko","avatarUrl":"https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1920261913461858304/3Y6Kh5aE_200x200.jpg"},"createdAt":"Tue Aug 25 01:55:07 +0000 2026"},"adhxContext":{"savedByCount":1,"publicTags":[],"previewUrl":"https://adhx.com/itsolelehmann/status/2092215131891806641"}}
