How canal water cools our Dutch data center

Discussing how data centers change the world around them in surprising and beneficial ways. In this episode of Google's Where the Internet Lives, meet Inge van Ditshuizen, operations manager at Google's Eemshaven data center in the Netherlands. With drought threatening the Netherland's most precious resource (water), she explains how Google and North Water joined forces to protect potable water by cooling the data center with recycled canal water that cycles through the facility multiple times before being tested for quality and released back to the sea. This companion documentary shows us the beautiful history of water in the Netherlands, and helps us understand how finding ways to preserve it is crucial – and an ongoing responsibility. This video was made with the cooperation of North Water, a joint venture of Evides Industriewater and Waterbedrijf Groningen.
