Using technology to identify and address leaks means less water waste, lower costs for universities, schools and public buildings and a more sustainable future in our data center communities.
To address unnoticed water waste in non-residential properties near our data center in Belgium, Google is supporting Agua Segura to implement Shayp’s IoT leak detection system in 240 buildings by 2030. With this technology, these buildings will prevent and reduce their average annual water waste by about 500 cubic meters.
Additionally, this project will help decrease carbon emissions by lowering electricity needs for water pumps. It will also create educational opportunities by improving staff understanding of water usage through the implementation of leak detection systems.
