European cloud providers are urging for the reuse of wastewater and financial support for public infrastructure improvements. Concerns over data centers' high water consumption have increased, especially with the rise of AI centers located in water-scarce regions. The European Commission has indicated that water shortages are worsened by data center operations. CISPE acknowledges the challenge of water scarcity, advocating for responsible water usage while urging the Commission to avoid singling out specific sectors for restrictions. They emphasize their commitment to sustainable practices and collaboration in water management.
"Water resilience is a pressing issue that should be addressed by the Commission, but the Commission should also recognize not only the significant work that the sector has done but also the need for collaboration to enhance sustainable water usage across all industries."
"CISPE admitted that water scarcity is rapidly becoming a pressing challenge, emphasizing that responsible water use and innovative management practices must be highlighted rather than targeting specific industries."
