AI Summary

Amazon announced a $20 million investment in water‑conservation projects along the Colorado River, a water source that serves 40 million people in the Western United States. The move follows growing scrutiny of the water usage of data centers operated by Amazon and other technology firms. The company has not yet disclosed how much water its own data centers consume.
