What happened

Meet the Water Strategy Leaders at Data Centre LIVE As data centre demand accelerates alongside AI and digital transformation, the industry is confronting a growing constraint: water.

Why it matters

Long treated as a secondary consideration to power, water is now firmly in the spotlight as operators face mounting regulatory scrutiny and increasing environmental expectations.

Common ground

Cooling is one of the most water-intensive aspects of data centre operations.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
