00:00What's the impact of digital technology on water? Digital tech helps manage water systems,

00:12but it also uses a lot of water. It supports real-time monitoring of water use and quality,

00:19quicker leak detection and smart irrigation. Plus AI can help forecast rainfall patterns.

00:2523% of water in EU networks is lost before it gets to consumers. Digital solutions can

00:33cut leaks by 30% and reduce overflows in the sewer system. However, digital tech and green

00:41energy mean higher water consumption. For example, data centers use up to 1.7 million

00:46liters of cooling water per day. Producing a car battery consumes around 26,000 liters of water.

00:54To offset this, the EU batteries regulation mandates sustainable water use throughout the

01:00battery's life cycle. Digital tech will help us use water better, but it's also a thirsty

01:06consumer of resources.
