Riego Científico con Nubes

We are a Mexican company that provides rain induction services with a unique technology that allows us to obtain an efficiency of 86% in the treated cloud.  

This technology was developed by Engineers Manuel Menéndez Osorio and María Amparo Menéndez Osorio. 

Our history begins in the 70's of the last century as a response by our founders to the incessant droughts of which the crops were victims and of the people who had all their patrimony deposited in their crops.  

After numerous tests and through different methods, we came to the conclusion that the most complex and risky method "direct sprinkling", in turn, was the most efficient and effective to promote rain. Thus, in the subsequent years after our foundation our method and formula were perfected, which allowed us to work throughout the Mexican Republic and abroad, demonstrating great results in different weather scenarios. 


Our experience of more than 5 decades, allows us to provide a great service with ideal and unmatched solutions.

Rain induction techniques

In recent years, various techniques have been used, among which are:

  1. Pyrotechnic cartridges: they spread the iodide by the explosion of flammable and oxidizing materials within the clouds, whose control of the explosion and placement of the cartridge is highly difficult due to the downdrafts that make it fall vertiginously without achieving its objective, achieving barely perceptible efficiencies of 10% to 15% on the average of precipitation and it lacks control in nucleation.

  2. Ionizing towers: they generate precipitation activity but it takes approximately 60 days to precipitate the clouds, therefore, they will most likely fall into the ocean or where they are not required; In addition to this, its efficiency cannot be measured.

  3. Combustion system: where the solid materials for sowing are injected directly into the combustion chamber and the evaporation or sublimation of the solids takes place in the flame, the recondensation happens at the discharge level; this system does not exceed 12% efficiency either.

  4. Our technique:  It consists of pouring millions of hygroscopic silver iodide nuclei into the clouds, it takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes to carry out precipitation with an average efficiency of 86% over the historical accumulation midpoint.
