Rain Enhancement Technologies Reports WETA Delivers New Water at $10 Per Acre-Foot, a Fraction of the Cost of Conventional Supply AlternativesValidated Winter Results from La Sal Mountains Establish Ground-Based Ionization as the Most Cost-Effective Incremental Water Supply Option Available to Western Water Managers NAPLES, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2026 / Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAIN), a leading provider of ionization rainfall generation technology, today reported validated winter results showing that its Weather Enhancement Technology Array (WETA) delivers new water at $10 per acre-foot. The figure, drawn from the Company's La Sal Mountains deployment in Utah, undercuts desalination, demand management, recycled water, and groundwater recharge by margins of more than 95 percent. WETA operated continuously at La Sal from mid-November 2025 through March 2026, producing an estimated 8,750 acre-feet of incremental water across the season. The comparison arrives at a critical moment for water managers across the American West. A record-dry winter in 2025-2026 has left regional reservoirs significantly below normal, accelerating pressure on agencies to identify new incremental supply. The conventional alternative supply options share a common profile: high capital costs, long permitting timelines measured in years, and significant ongoing operational expense. WETA deploys in weeks from a single ground-based installation, requires no chemicals and no on-site personnel, and operates continuously and autonomously."Water managers across the West are being asked to find new supply with budgets that won't cover pipelines, desalination plants, or decade-long permitting battles," said Randy Seidl, Chief Executive Officer of Rain Enhancement Technologies. "The La Sal results give us something the industry has never had: a validated cost per acre-foot for ground-based ionization, independently reviewed. At $10 per acre-foot, WETA is in a different category from every alternative on the table. And unlike infrastructure projects that take years to produce a single gallon, WETA is operational in weeks."The La Sal Mountains deployment produced more than 20 percent Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) enhancement across the full winter season, as measured against paired control sites in the nearby Abajo Mountains.
