Amazon Discloses Data Center Water Use

Amazon reported that its global data centers used about 2.

5 billion gallons of water in 2025 and achieved water intensity of roughly 0.12 liters per kilowatt-hour. The company attributes the performance to air cooling, higher server temperature thresholds, selective evaporative cooling, and expanded reclaimed-water use, while reporting progress toward a 2030 water-positive goal. The disclosure comes as communities and policymakers demand more detailed resource data and weigh water impacts when approving new data centers.
