AWS joins the water positive gang, claims it will be there by 2030
According to AWS, it is already on the way to becoming water positive, and said it will report annually on progress. This will involve details of its water use efficiency metric, recycling efforts plus the company's activities to reduce water consumption in facilities, along with updates on new and existing replenishment projects.
Water positive is a relatively new term, but there is no formal definition for what this means. It can involve techniques such as capturing rainwater, as well as treating waste water for reuse, but the ultimate test is more water returned to the environment than is supplied, making a particular site water positive.published by David Mytton of the University of Oxford last year, datacenter water consumption in the US stood at 1.7 billion liters per day.
Sustainable sources means using recycled water and harvested rainwater wherever possible, while reuse means that water discharged from its datacenters is safe for many other purposes. Replenishment sees the company invest in water projects where it operates, AWS claims, to expand local community water access.
