While industrial water consumption has traditionally been associated with agriculture, countless other industries rely on consistent, predictable access to water. In fact, approximately 60% of all global GDP today “depends on access to water.”
Take the textile industry, for instance, where water is essential for dyeing and finishing processes. In automotive manufacturing, water is critical for everything from metal treatment to paint applications. Even digital services have a hydrologic footprint: Every online search, cloud data retrieval or AI query triggers computational processes in data centers that rely on water-intensive large-scale cooling systems.
