Gradiant Leads Sustainable Water Solutions for the Data Centers Powering AI
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2025--
Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has been awarded two new contracts by leading technology companies to design and deploy sustainable water solutions at new data centers in the United States and Indo-Pacific. These facilities—critical to powering AI and cloud infrastructure—are increasingly located in some of the most water-stressed regions in the world.

Gradiant is deploying sustainable water solutions for new AI-powered data centers in the U.S. and Indo-Pacific.
Gradiant's solutions will enable these developments to meet aggressive sustainability goals while minimizing their impact on local water resources and communities. The projects underscore Gradiant's growing role as the go-to water partner for the world's most important AI infrastructure owners and operators.
As the world accelerates toward an AI-first future, data centers—the invisible engines powering cloud computing, AI, and global connectivity—are emerging as both drivers of innovation and major consumers of water. An average 100-megawatt data center in the U.S. uses as much water each day as 6,500 households. Globally, data center water use is projected to more than double by 2030, reaching 1,200 billion liters annually.
Many of these new sites are being built in water-scarce regions such as the U.S. Southwest, the Middle East, and Australia—driven by proximity to energy, land, and local incentives. With growing regulatory pressure and environmental scrutiny, water strategy has become mission-critical.
'In today's climate reality, building a data center without a water strategy is not an option,' said Anurag Bajpayee, CEO of Gradiant. 'These facilities are as thirsty as they are power hungry. Our clients are asking how to eliminate wastewater, how to operate in drought-prone regions without harming local communities, and how to do it all while scaling AI infrastructure at lightning speed.'
Gradiant is uniquely positioned to help data center owners and operators meet this moment. With a full-stack technology portfolio and deep expertise in complex industrial water, the company delivers complete site-wide peace of mind.
Gradiant's solutions include:
'Only Gradiant can deliver complete site-wide peace of mind—a fully integrated and holistic solution that unites process technology, AI, and chemicals through a single trusted partner,' said Prakash Govindan, COO of Gradiant. 'Our customers no longer need to coordinate across multiple parties. With Gradiant, they gain a single, trusted partner optimizing every drop of water across their operations. This is water innovation without compromise.'
Gradiant's technologies are helping data centers operate in the harshest conditions—without compromising sustainability or performance. As the digital economy accelerates, Gradiant is enabling what's possible for water in tech infrastructure.

Down 18%, are we witnessing the slow decline of Alphabet stock?
Like many of the Magnificent 7, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock has performed poorly over the last few months. Its once all-powerful moat in internet search is coming under serious threat from multiple angles. So, is this merely a mid-life crisis or something much more problematic? In its Q1 results, posted at the end of April, the business continued to see strong growth momentum. Revenues for the quarter came in at $90bn, 12% higher than a year ago. Representing over 50% of total revenues, Google search was up 10%. Google subscriptions, platforms, and YouTube ads also saw strong growth momentum. The business continues to invest heavily in AI. It recently launched Gemini 2.5, although it's still in preview mode and doesn't offer a paid tier with full access yet. The new AI model is not aimed at your average consumer. This probably explains why the pricing model will be different. It claims the model is capable of 'analyzing large datasets, codebases, and documents using long context'. But like so many of its peers, it has been rather vague on detail, other than saying it had addressed user feedback. Google, like all the other Magnificent 7 stocks, are trying to understand how generative AI is likely to evolve and whether it's a long-term threat to their business models. With 90% of all internet searches being conducted through Chrome, Google looks particularly vulnerable to me. A month ago, investors were totally spooked after an Apple executive disclosed in a court case that Google-search traffic on its devices using Safari fell for the first time ever. The speed of adoption of generative AI among the general consumer is what has completely taken me by surprise. Key to an acceleration in this trend have been AI-generated summaries at the top of search results. Google and Microsoft may be at the forefront of rolling out this new feature, but this technology has the potential to cannibalise existing revenue streams. Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the foundation of the internet. The whole marketing industry is based on fine tuning algorithms to ensure a company attracts traffic to their web pages. The rise of so-called 'zero-click' results looks set to upend this key tenet. In a recent survey conducted by consultancy firm Bain, it found that about 80% of consumers now rely on zero-click results in at least 40% of their searches. They estimated that this new phenomenon has reduced organic web traffic by between 15% to 25%. The likes of Perplexity AI and ChatGPT continue to attract consumers. According to Bain's research, approximately 40% to 70% of LLM users use the platforms to conduct research and summarise information, find the latest news and weather, and ask for shopping recommendations. Across the marketing industry, generative engine optimisation or GEO is becoming the new buzz term. This is in recognition of the growing role of bots trawling the web to train LLMs. Marketing revenues from clicks are the lifeblood of Google's business model. As it tries to find way to integrate and grow revenues from its own AI offerings, capital expenditures will continue to grow. With so much future uncertainty, I will continue to observe from the sidelines, but I don't rule out an investment in the future.

Klarna boss: AI will lead to recession and mass job losses
The introduction of AI at firms could lead to a recession due to mass job losses of professionals, Klarna's chief executive has warned. The use of AI to make work more efficient has been encouraged by leading figures, including the government itself which said it could save civil servants two weeks a year. But fintech boss Sebastian Siemiatkowski, who runs the Stockholm-based 'buy now, pay later' business Klarna, has warned that its potential to replace work done by office staff could push economies into a recession in the coming years. Siemiatkowski suggested that tech bosses had tended to dismiss the impacts AI could have on headcounts at firms, with Klarna cutting staff numbers from 5,500 to 3,000 in recent years. 'Many people in the tech industry, especially CEOs, tend to downplay the consequences of AI on jobs and white-collar jobs in particular. And I don't want to be one of them,' Siemiatkowski told The Times Tech Podcast. 'There will be an implication for white-collar jobs and when that happens that usually leads to a recession at least in the short-term. Unfortunately, I don't see how we could avoid that, with what's happening from a technology perspective.' He said he based his predictions on anecdotes seen through the number of firms pushing AI tools, with economic data not yet considering the impacts of AI. 'I feel like I have an email almost every day from some CEO of a tech or a large company that says we also see opportunities to become more efficient and we would like to compare notes. If I just take all of those emails and add up the amount of jobs in those emails, it's considerable.' He said humans could be protected for some jobs at Klarna, such as in customer service where people can work on fraud and other complex banking issues. 'The value of that human touch will increase,' he said, adding that AI meant people working in client-facing roles would have to be more skilled. 'They will provide a much higher quality type of service.' Siemiatkowski's comments echo those made by the chief executive of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, who said half of all entry level professional jobs could be eliminated in the next five years. The head of another AI firm, Arthur Mesch, who runs French firm Mistral, has claimed that the excitement of fellow tech bosses for its ability to overpower humans was a 'very religious' fascination while Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind said it would take another five to ten years before AI would overtake human intelligence.
