More About the Webinar
The data center industry has long focused on improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and advancing cooling technologies. At the same time, operators have been addressing the widening time-to-power gap through approaches such as on-site power generation and small modular reactors (SMRs). As facilities continue to scale, however, water availability is emerging as the next critical constraint. The freshwater requirements of conventional cooling systems are making it increasingly difficult to secure reliable water supplies, particularly in water-stressed regions. This webinar will examine the growing freshwater challenges facing data centers and explore the technologies, strategies, and emerging approaches that can help address it.
Webinar Agenda
- A clear understanding of where water constraints are already slowing data center expansion and which regions face the greatest near-term risk.
- Practical insights into why conventional cooling approaches are becoming less viable for high- density AI workloads.
- A balanced view of the trade-offs between on-site and off-site water use across different cooling technologies.
- An assessment of freshwater reduction strategies that are ready for deployment versus those still evolving.
- A practical framework for prioritizing water investments to support infrastructure planning and capital decisions.
