A Morgan Stanley report projects a massive surge in water consumption by AI data centers, potentially reaching 1,068 billion litres by 2028, an elevenfold increase from 2024. This rise is driven by cooling needs, electricity generation, and semiconductor manufacturing. Concerns are mounting as many data center hubs are located in water-stressed regions, demanding efficient water management for sustainability.
