How this was built
Each value is copied from the operator's report in the unit it published, then converted to U.S. gallons (1 megaliter = 264,172 gallons; 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons). The table shows millions of gallons. The CSV of every operator is on the main page.
To compare a site with a hypothetical load, use the data center water use calculator, which shows the closest reported site. For how cooling type changes the numbers, see cooling types and water. Facility records, efficiency figures and power deals for Google are on its operator page.
Limits of this data
- Only the measures Google publishes appear; a blank cell means it does not publish that measure for that row.
- Site names and boundaries are the operator's. A campus can include several buildings and phases.
- Water used to generate the electricity a site consumes is not included.
