The Hidden Cost of Artificial Intelligence: Water Consumption and the Importance of RePG Aqua Systems

Artificial intelligence technologies are revolutionizing many areas of our lives. However, the environmental impacts of these technologies are often overlooked. In particular, the amount of water consumed for cooling data centers has become a serious concern.

Water Consumption of Data Centers

Data centers that run artificial intelligence applications face significant heating issues due to their high processing power requirements. To keep this heat under control, a large amount of water is used. For example, according to Google’s "2024 Environmental Report," in 2024, the company's data centers consumed approximately 22.7 billion liters of water. This amount is equivalent to one-third of Turkey's annual water consumption.

Additionally, according to a news report by Günce Nur İnce published on CNBC-e, artificial intelligence applications consume half a liter of water for every 50 questions. This situation further increases the pressure of artificial intelligence technologies on water resources.

RePG Aqua Systems: A Sustainable Solution

At this point, RePG's Aqua systems come into play. RePG Aqua offers innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the cooling needs of data centers. These systems minimize water consumption, reducing both environmental impact and operating costs.

The advantages of RePG Aqua are as follows:

Water Savings: Uses less water compared to traditional cooling systems.

Energy Efficiency: Operates with lower energy consumption, which reduces the carbon footprint.

Environmentally Friendly: Conserves natural resources and contributes to a sustainable future.

The development of artificial intelligence technologies also brings along environmental responsibilities. Water consumption in data centers is among these responsibilities. RePG Aqua systems provide a sustainable and effective solution to this problem, protecting the environment while supporting technological advancement.
