2.5 billion gallons of water were used by Amazon data centers worldwide last year, the company said in a new disclosure.
Amazon framed the figure as evidence its server farms cool more efficiently than some large tech rivals, making the release a comparative benchmark as well as a usage update.
The total equals about 5% of metro Seattle's annual water consumption, underscoring the scale of resources tied to the expansion of cloud infrastructure.
