This episode will stream live on the 22nd of March at 11am ET
Data centers are water hungry, and as demand for higher power computers continues to grow, the inherent conflict between power and water continues to intensify. These problems are felt more acutely in many regions around the world, especially in hotter climates more prone to drought. With global temperatures on the rise these issues are set to intensify, which has prompted some countries to enforce stringent measures on water consumption, with many others set to follow suit.
This episode will explore the nuances for water management for different climates, and identify how technology is being developed in order to allow operations to withstand changing environmental conditions such as extreme heat, whilst balancing water usage effectiveness. The above will also be examined in the context of regulation, and explore how water usage is being managed both within a data center but also on a governmental level.
