# AWS to use treated sewage water for cooling at India data centres 2026-08-08T11:07:51+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet AWS plans to use recycled sewage water for cooling at its future data centres in Mumbai and Hyderabad, aligning with India's National Framework on Safe Reuse of Treated Water. The company currently uses air-cooled chillers in its operational Indian data centres, so no water is consumed for cooling there. Globally, AWS has 26 data centres using recycled water and agreements for another 130 facilities. AWS has already met its 2027 water positivity target in India, returning 120 per cent of water consumed to local communities in 2025. It has invested over Rs 62 crore in water stewardship projects across India, including lake rejuvenation and groundwater recharge, expected to replenish more than four billion litres annually. The company also runs 53 renewable energy projects generating over 4 million MWh of clean electricity yearly. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in Tags: AWS, data centres, India, recycled water, sustainability, water conservation Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/aws-to-use-treated-sewage-water-for-cooling-at-india-data-centres/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
