Amazon to expand Data Centers using Recycled Water to 120

Amazon this week announced it will expand its use of water recycling to more than 120 locations in states and counties where the cloud giant has data center operations by 2030.

“By scaling our use of recycled water—water that has been previously used and treated—we expect to preserve over 530 million gallons of drinking-water supply in our communities throughout the US each year,” the company said.

“We are deeply committed to being good members of our communities, and doubling down on preserving freshwater resources is one of the ways we can demonstrate that,” said Kevin Miller, vice president of global data centers for AWS. “By significantly expanding our recycled-water infrastructure, we’re aiming to advance technological innovation while still prioritizing environmental stewardship.”
