AI and data centers require vast amounts of water for cooling, while something like pharmaceutical manufacturing requires extremely pure water. Donnie Ginn, Black & Veatch executive vice president and global water solutions leader, explains how his engineering firm is meeting those water needs through utility water supply projects. From resilient storage solutions to sustainable reuse operations, the business opportunities in the water sector are clear.
This story originally ran as AI and data centers splash into the water engineering market on Wastewater Digest, an Endeavor Business Media partner site.
