Amazon improves data center water efficiency by 52% since 2021, aims for water positive by 2030

Amazon's data centers are over 7x more water-efficient than the industry average, using air cooling for most of the year and water only during the hottest days.

We're 75% of the way to our goal of being water positive by 2030, meaning that for every gallon of water we use in our data center operations, we will return more than a gallon back to the communities where we operate.

In 2025, we returned 3 gallons for every 4 we used—and we've announced over 50 water projects that are expected to return more than 5.8 billion gallons annually once fully implemented.

Amazon is constantly innovating to reduce the amount of water we use in our data centers, resulting in a 52% improvement in water efficiency since 2021.
