4 Ways Texas Data Centers Protect Water
Data centers built in Texas do more than create jobs. They can help protect the water that Texans depend on. Responsible growth means reusing water and protecting local supplies for families, farmers, and businesses. Here is how data centers built under the Texas Standard help conserve water and put Texas communities first:
01.
Closed-Loop Cooling
New data centers in Texas use cooling systems that reuse the same water. Because the water stays inside a closed loop, it doesn't evaporate, which saves millions of gallons.

02.
Mandatory Water Audits & State Compliance
Under the Texas Standards, data centers must pass strict state water usage audits before receiving power connections, ensuring transparency with local groundwater districts.
03.
Stormwater Management & Runoff Filtering
Texas data centers must follow rules to control rainwater runoff and help keep pollution out of nearby rivers and streams.
04.
Major Investments in Local Water Infrastructure
Data center developers are investing hundreds of millions of dollars into Texas water infrastructure, conservation, and community water systems.
