In many data centres, water is essential for cooling processor chips to prevent overheating and potential damage. Like most other industrial facilities, data centres also require substantial water supplies for firefighting systems and domestic use. To ensure a stable water supply and safeguard local water cycles, data centres must manage local water resources responsibly.

In this webinar, data centre operators and developers will gain technical insight and inspiration on how to design and implement sustainable water systems across all stages – from supply to discharge and, where possible, recirculation.

Key takeaways:
1. Emissions thresholds are required
2. You need to comply now and over the next two years
3. Verification protocols exist for different sectors

Agenda:

• Key drivers of water consumption at data centers, by Eric Fournier & Scott Armstrong Wilson

• Understand the main drivers of water consumption and the relations between PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) and WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) and learn about the variation in cooling methods including geographical differences.

• The data center as part of local water cycles, by Rachel Schwaab & Scott Armstrong Wilson
  Understand the bigger picture and systemic context for data centres and learn about specific measures that can help you benefit from all water sources available and technology and manage the water responsibly.

• How Ramboll can help, by Rachel Schwaab
  Learn how Ramboll can help you address water issues in all phases: Strategic risk and planning, site selection and permitting, design & construction, construction and commissioning, and operational support.
