Amazon AI data centers may use reclaimed water in Mississippi
Amazon and Veolia plan to implement a reclaimed water system to cool Amazon's data centers in Mississippi, reducing pressure on local drinking water supplies. The system is expected to reuse over 83 million gallons of water annually by 2027.
Amazon and Veolia are proposing a reclaimed water system for Amazon's data centers in Mississippi. The system would treat wastewater from nearby treatment plants and reuse it for cooling. Once operational in 2027, it is expected to reuse over 83 million gallons of water annually. This move is part of Amazon's effort to reduce strain on local water resources as it expands in Mississippi. Amazon has committed to being 'water positive' by 2030 across its direct data center operations. The company recently announced another $12 billion investment in Mississippi, adjacent to a location where it is already investing $10 billion in a data center campus.
