Amazon says it has adopted water conservation measures in India and is “water positive” this year, meaning it returns more water to local communities than it uses for its operations. The company’s claims cover water used across its infrastructure, including data centres and offices. In its statements, Amazon points to efforts aimed at reducing overall consumption and increasing returns of water to communities, positioning these steps as part of how it manages water resources where its facilities operate.
Multiple outlets report that the remarks come amid scrutiny of water use tied to Amazon’s data centres in India. While the reporting focuses on the company’s response, Amazon’s core message is that its net water impact is positive due to conservation and water-return measures. The coverage reflects the company’s effort to address questions around how much water its operations draw and what it does with that water, particularly in regions where data-centre activity is under public and regulatory attention.
