Data Centers extract massive quantities of groundwater to cool their equipment in a time where existing and diminishing water resources are being rapidly depleted impacting the supply of fresh water.
An internet of things (IoT) irrigation system is challenged by several issues, such as cost, energy consumption, and data storage. This paper proposes a novel energy-efficient, cost-effective IoT system called "NewAgriCom" to monitor agricultural field water flow. NewAgriCom works with an embedded energy harvesting system, is an autonomous remote supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) based on a general packet radio service (GPRS) cellular network that effectively communicates irrigation field data to the Node.js server using SIM808 EVBV3.2 modem. In javascript object notation (JSON) format, data is transmitted over the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol to the MySQL database. Then data are transferred to the proposed IoT platform, which gives us a hand to control actuators, visualise, store and download the data. NewAgriCom can significantly reduce water consumption. It can set a schedule to control water automatically at specific times in various modes, including normal, light, and deep sleep modes. It regularly provides the location, time, signal strength, and the state of actuators with the identifier of every device remotely on the IoT Platform.

The Significance of Green Data Centres for DevelopmentAbdulghanyMohamed1
This presentation explores the significance of green data centres for development by delving into the opportunities and challenges of establishing and operating such centres.
The green data center has moved from theoretical to the realistic, with IT leaders being challenged to construct new data centers (or retrofits the existing one) with energy saving features, sustainable materials and other environmental efficiencies in mind.
This project deals with the effects that are caused by the data center. How severe these effects are and how to overcome these. The measures that has been provided are not only in constructional point of view but also focusing on other dimensions.
ScottMadden has developed an approach for analyzing data center requirements and driving improvements in existing data center retrofits. Our approach takes into account the technological requirements, the physical attributes of a data center, and the requirements for a rigorous measurement and verification program needed to ensure improvements actually capture the energy efficiently gains and the resultant greenhouse gas reductions.
Our approach addresses the latest trends in data center management such as virtualization and cloud computing and provide a framework for developing metrics needed to drive changes in data center performance.
What is Green IT? – Green IT is the practice of environmentally sustainable computing. It consists of a set of measures that ensure IT is delivered and used in a sustainable, energy efficient, environmentally friendly way resulting in a reduced carbon footprint.
Why is it so important? – With rapidly expanding usage of IT, the industry has a responsibility to source sustainably to ensure that growth can continue and to enable a low carbon economy. As well as that, businesses can benefit financially by adopting green IT initiatives.

Energy Saving by Virtual Machine Migration in Green Cloud Computingijtsrd
Nowadays the innovations have turned out to be so quick and advanced that enormous all big enterprises have to go for cloud. Cloud provides wide range of services, from high performance computing to storage. Datacenter consisting of servers, network, wires, cooling systems etc. is very important part of cloud as it carries various business information onto the servers. Cloud computing is widely used for large data centers but it causes very serious issues to environment such as heat emission, heavy consumption of energy, release of toxic gases like methane, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, etc. High energy consumption leads to high operational cost as well as low profit. So we required Green cloud computing, which very environment friendly and energy efficient version of the cloud computing. In this paper the major issues related to cloud computing is discussed. And the various techniques used to minimize the power consumption are also discussed. Ruhi D. Viroja | Dharmendra H.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

1. CASE STUDY
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR WATER?
CONSTRUCTING AN ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR FARM
TO SUPPORT A CLOSED LOOP
DATA CENTER OR NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER
Copyright 2023 Green Technology Global Inc. 1
2. BACKGROUND
A data center is the technological hub of
modern enterprise operations. The data center
provides the critical IT infrastructure needed to
deliver resources and services to business
employees, partners and customers around
the world.
The sheer scale involved in enterprise
computing demands a large, dedicated space
that is carefully designed to support the space,
power, cooling, management, reliability and
security needs of the IT infrastructure.
Copyright 2023 Green Technology Global Inc. 2
3. Power. There must be adequate power -- in watts, often as much as 100 megawatts
-- to operate all the IT infrastructure. Power must be affordable, clean -meaning free of
fluctuation or disruption and reliable. Renewable and supplemental/auxiliary power must be
included.
• Cooling. The enormous amount of power delivered to a data center is converted into computing
-- i.e., work -- and a lot of heat, which must be removed from the IT infrastructure using
conventional HVAC systems (demanding massive quantities of non-potable water for cooling),
as well as other unconventional cooling technologies
Security. Considering the value of the data center and its critical importance to the business,
the data center must include controlled access using a variety of tactics, ranging from
employee badge access to video surveillance.
Management. Modern data centers typically incorporate a building management system
(BMS) designed to help IT and business leaders oversee the data center environment in real
time, including oversight of temperature, humidity, power and cooling levels, as well as
access and security logging. (by Stephen J. Bigelow, Senior Technology Editor, 18 May

4. WATER REQUIREMENTS FOR COOLING
IBM specifications for water cooling systems: The datacom equipment cooling system (DECS) is a water
loop in which the water comes in contact with the components to be cooled. There are cases where the
DECS water is supplied by an in-rack CDU or can be supplied by an external CDU that service multiple
racks. For details of potential liquid cooling systems and loops within a data center and the terminology
that is used, (see Figure 1).
The water quality standards that are specified pertain only to the DECS water loop that comes into
contact with computer components. The ongoing monitoring and maintenance procedures are also
described.
The cooling loop hardware consists mainly of corrosion resistant alloys, such as copper alloys and
stainless steels. EPDM rubber must form the inner lining of all the hoses in the system. The chemistry of
the cooling water must be properly maintained to avoid system disruption or shutdown due to any of the
four common water-related problems of corrosion, microbiological growth, scale formation, and fouling.
The details of the water treatment depend on whether the local municipality allows the disposal of water
that contains some cleaning chemicals down a sanitary drain. If the local municipality does not allow the
disposal of contaminated water down a sanitary drain, a deionizing bypass can be included in the water-
cooling loop to allow the cleaning of the water to purity levels corresponding to resistivity > 0.1 MΩ.cm
(conductivity < 10 μS/cm) before pouring the water down the drain. You are responsible for verifying the
local regulations before you dispose any water.

6. Water quality requirements
Use the following requirements to plan for the water quality in your system:
The water that is required to initially fill the system side cooling loop must be
reasonably clean, bacteria-free water (less than 100 CFU/ml), such as demineralized
water, reverse osmosis water, deionized water, or distilled water.
The water must be filtered with an in-line 50 μm filter.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF RELIANCE ON GROUNDWATER
“Given the predicted growth of the technology sector, however, it is perhaps particularly
important for this industry (data centers) to consider its water footprint and see what changes
could be made to reduce it.
Some 29.3 billion devices are expected to be online by the year 2030 and these will need
to be supported and backed up by data centres all over the world, providing power for millions
of servers, as well as cooling and internet access.” t.ly/DS5d

7. “Google Data Centers’ Secret Cost: Billions of Gallons of Water
To meet surging demand for online information, internet giant taps public water supplies that are already
straining from overuse.”
Drought-stricken communities push back against data centers - NBC News June 19, 2021, 5:00 AM CDT By
Olivia Solon
As cash-strapped cities welcome Big Tech to build hundreds of million-dollar data centers in their
backyards, critics question the environmental cost.
On May 17, the City Council of Mesa, Arizona, approved the $800 million development of an enormous data
center -- a warehouse filled with computers storing all of the photos, documents and other information we
store “in the cloud” -- on an arid plot of land in the eastern part of the city.
But keeping the rows of powerful computers inside the data center from overheating will require up to 1.25
million gallons of water each day, a price that Vice Mayor Jenn Duff believes is too high. “This has been the
driest 12 months in 126 years,” she said, citing data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. “We are on red alert, and I think data centers are an irresponsible use of our water.”

8. More data centers are being built every day by some
of America’s largest technology companies,
including Amazon, Microsoft and Google and used
by millions of customers. According to the Synergy
Research Group, there were about 600 “hyperscale”
data centers, massive operations designed and
operated by a single company that then rents access
to cloud services, globally by the end of 2020.
That’s double the number there were in 2015.
Almost 40 percent of them are in the United States,
and Amazon, Google and Microsoft account for more
than half of the total.
Copyright 2023 Green Technology Global Inc. 8
9. “The typical data center uses about 3-5 million
gallons of water per day -- the same amount of water
as a city of 30,000-50,000 people,” said Venkatesh
Uddameri, professor and director of the Water Resources
Center at Texas Tech University.”

10. Amazon Water Sustainability & Water Stewardship
“Water Positive by 2030: In 2022, we announced Water+, our commitment to being
water positive by 2030. That means we’ll return more water to communities and
the environment than we use in our data center operations.
To do this, we’re increasing the use of sustainable water sources, improving water use
efficiency across our operations, reusing water as much as possible, and supporting
water replenishment projects for communities and the environment around the world.”
(source Amazon Sustainability website t.ly/Sa1i)
Comment: Amazon’s response is a bit disingenuous as it has not
addressed the current issue; What is the source of their water for
current operations? What is the current impact on the environment?
What effect of their drawing existing water resources for the next
eight years until they achieve their goal? Reads like hyperbole and
an attempt to garner positive press.

11. THE CASE FOR CONSIDERING ALTERNATIVE POINT OF USE DELIVERY OF
WATER FROM THE AIR PRODUCED BY ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATORS
THAT HAVE ZERO IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND ARE 100%
INDEPENDENT OF EXISTING GROUNDWATER RESOURCES
Atmospheric Water Generator Farms constructed in tandem with data centers provides
a long-term solution relieves the burden of current dependence on existing and
diminishing water supplies. AWGs provide a sustainable solution relying upon the billions
of water particles present in moisture in the atmosphere, free from pollutants, that can
be moved through a multi-stage filtration process to produce fresh drinking water quality
water that meets or exceeds World Health Organization Standards, fully in compliance
with the IBM water purity standards noted above that will not be harmful to sensitive
electronic equipment.
