Big Tech and Big Water: Managing the Water Footprint of Hyperscaler Expansion

25 Feb 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • What impact is the rise of AI and the rapid expansion of water-intensive data centres having on local water demand especially in water-stressed regions?
  • In what ways are hyperscalers managing their water footprint, and which cooling technologies or water reuse strategies are proving most effective in reducing water intensity and improve circularity?
  • To what extent are hyperscalers collaborating with utilities, municipalities, and local supply chains to align on shared water goals, and where have strategic partnerships helped prevent resource conflicts?
