Enhancing rainfall by cloud seeding

Enhancing rainfall by cloud seeding

When the State of Israel was still in its infancy, Israeli leaders realized that the country’s climate requires creative, innovative and advanced solutions for the water industry. Consequently, cloud seeding technology was brought over to Israel in 1961, and EMS – Electrical Mechanical Services, then Mekorot’s technical department, was put in charge of its implementation.

EMS has been engaged in the field of rainfall enhancement for five decades. The Company plays an active part in both the scientific and research aspects, implemented jointly with leading research and academic organizations. Practical research is conducted through seeding flights, operating furnaces, cloud RADAR, satellite photographs and other advanced technologies.
