Efforts like these are under the spotlight as generative artificial intelligence (AI) consumes growing volumes of water, one of the environmental priorities for February's global AI summit in Paris.
The portside data centres «pump water at a rate of about 3,000 cubic metres (100,000 cubic feet) per hour», said Fabrice Coquio, president of their operator Digital Realty's French business.
Water keeping the banks of servers at optimal temperature is «unfit for human consumption… laden with minerals and particles,» Coquio added.
Digital Realty counts major platforms, from Microsoft to Disney and TikTok, among clients for its processing and storage.
