This World Water Day, we are pleased to share an update on our efforts to replenish more fresh water than we consume on average across our offices and data centers by 2030 and help improve watershed health in the communities where we operate. This work goes hand in hand with our commitment to promote responsible water use as demand for digital services grows.
Here are some highlights from our 2025 project portfolio:
- Replenished more than 7 billion gallons by 2025 alone.
- Supported 165 projects across 97 watersheds.
- Estimated to replenish more than 19 billion gallons by 2030 when the projects are fully implemented.
These efforts help improve the quality and reliability of water for the communities in which we operate—from the high plains of Texas to the marshes of Ireland—while improving the health of critical landscapes and ecosystems. Read on to meet some of the organizations we partnered with in 2025.
Support farmers with agricultural innovations
By 2025, we scaled advanced irrigation technologies and new techniques to reduce agricultural water stress.
- In the Colorado River Basin, we are partnering with the Gila River Indian Community to deploy Rubicon Water smart sensors to conserve water, conserve water in Lake Mead, and provide economic benefits to farmers.
- In the Brazilian Tietê basin, our collaboration with Agua Segura and Agrow Analytics will use AI to optimize agricultural water timing.
- In Indiana, we work with The Nature Conservancy to promote the introduction of cover crops, which help retain water and improve water quality. Farmers across nine counties will be eligible for a discount on crop insurance premiums by using cover crops.
Restoring healthier watersheds
In addition to helping scale advanced water management technologies to promote water conservation in irrigation, we invested in nature-based projects to enhance biodiversity and water quality.
- In Ireland, we support Peatland Finance Ireland’s large-scale restoration efforts in the Wicklow Mountains. By raising the water table in these marshes, these projects are expected to increase their biodiversity and water-holding capacity and reduce local flood risks.
- In California, we work with the Yosemite Rivers Alliance to connect the Tuolumne River to its floodplains, creating vital habitat for fish, including native Chinook salmon and steelhead trout.
- In Taiwan, we are working with Hsinchu City and the Ministry of Environment to improve the water quality of the Touqian River using a natural gravel filtration system to remove pollutants from the river.
Building smarter urban water infrastructure
As cities grow, smart infrastructure becomes a necessity to meet their growing water needs while protecting the health of the ecosystems that sustain them.
- In Mons, Belgium, we are supporting the installation of Shayp’s IoT leak detection across 240 public buildings, enabling timely repairs that will save both water and municipal funds.
- In Bengaluru, India, we have partnered with FluxGen to implement an AI-powered “Water Intelligence Suite” in schools. This system identifies inefficiencies while educating students for responsible water management.
- In Virginia, we support the installation of Continuous Monitoring and Adaptive Control technology on stormwater dams, which uses data to control the release of water for flood protection and improved water quality.
Shaping a sustainable water future together
Every drop we save or refill, and every initiative that improves water quality or ecosystem health, is part of a bigger story—one of shared responsibility, collaboration, and innovation to solve local water challenges.
