Google is supporting water resilience in Chile.

Google is supporting water resilience in Chile. Ben Townsend Head of Infrastructure & Sustainability Sep 30, 2026 Google is committed to replenishing more water than we consume, and improving watershed health in the communities we call home. In 2025, our water stewardship efforts replenished more water to the Maipo River Basin than was consumed at our Quilicura, Chile data center. To further support the Maipo — a vital watershed supplying Santiago — Google is contributing $1.2 million to Aguas Andinas . This will help fund the lining of a 2.5-kilometer section of the Unidos de Buin Canal Association’s main irrigation canal. Lining the canal with concrete will reduce water loss from seepage, ensuring a greater volume remains available for local agricultural irrigation. The infrastructure upgrades will also help reduce sedimentation and erosion, improving water quality. Over its lifespan, the project is estimated to save up to 7.4 million cubic meters (1.9 billion gallons) of water annually.

Currently an unlined earthen channel, the ACUB main canal will soon undergo a concrete lining upgrade to prevent water loss and improve water quality Posted in: Related stories Sustainability Helping bring the world’s first large-scale, near-zero emissions steel plant online By Ben Townsend & Jenna Stauffer Sustainability We’re catalyzing megaton-scale climate impact in Brazil By Randy Spock Developer tools DevFest is back By Justyna Politanska-Pyszko & Natalie McHugh Google Research A new deep learning model maps global methane emissions from space.
