It also highlights practical ways to meet that demand while strengthening water security for communities.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpending on AI is forecast to approach $2 trillion in 2026,<sup>1<\/sup> accelerating infrastructure build-out worldwide. By the middle of the century, this expansion is projected to add 30 trillion liters of water demand, annually, fueled by a surge in power generation (~54% of the increase), semiconductor fabrication (~42%), and data center expansion (~4%).<\/p>\n<p>\nCrucially, the report finds that this additional demand does not have to result in competition between industry and communities. Today, global water systems process roughly 320 trillion liters of wastewater each year and lose an estimated 100 trillion liters through aging infrastructure \u2013 volumes that, if recovered through targeted investment, could substantially offset AI\u2019s projected growth in water use and reduce strain on freshwater resources.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report calls for a coordinated \u201cwater transition\u201d centered on water reuse, digital infrastructure, and cross-sector partnerships \u2013 to ensure water is a resilient foundation for economic growth, rather than a constraint on innovation.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAI is placing new demands on water supplies, but many of the tools needed to address the challenge already exist,\u201d said Matthew Pine, Xylem\u2019s president and CEO. \u201cAdvanced treatment technologies, for example, allow us to recycle water rather than waste it. Digital systems can help better manage supply in real time, reducing water lost to leaks. It&#8217;s time for a water transition built on targeted investment and collaboration between industry, utilities, and governments to ensure water systems can support both growth and community resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe analysis also highlights rising geographic risk. Nearly 40% of existing data centers are already located in regions experiencing high water stress,<sup>2<\/sup> and future growth is expected to concentrate in similarly constrained watersheds. This underscores the need for localized, basin-level solutions, even as global efficiency gains create headroom for growth.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur projections examine water use across the full AI value chain \u2013 from chip fabrication and data center operations to indirect demand from power generation \u2013 and assess how technology choices shape future demand,\u201d said Christopher Gasson, CEO, Global Water Intelligence. \u201cThe greatest pressure points emerge in semiconductor manufacturing and in fast-growing data center hubs in the United States, East Asia, and South Asia. In these regions, expanded wastewater reuse, leakage reduction, and targeted infrastructure investment can fully offset future growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report points to early examples of how collaboration can deliver shared benefits. In Mexico, for example, utilities in Mexico City and Monterrey worked together with Amazon and Xylem on smart pipeline upgrades to reduce leaks. A system of sensors and advanced analytics will save more than 1.3 billion liters of water a year and help improve the reliability of water supplies for residents.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Xylem<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nXylem (XYL) is a Fortune 500 leading global water solutions company that empowers customers and communities to build a more water-secure world.
