From public opposition to community partner.
De-risk hyperscale campuses with Zero-Day Water Positivity. We turn water scarcity into site enablement by conserving more water in the local watershed than your facility will use, before a shovel hits the dirt.
Water is now the #1 threat to data center development.
Across the West, water concerns are driving zoning delays, moratoria, rolled-back incentives and litigation. When a 100 MW campus stalls, the developer loses about $9 million in revenue every month, and a rejected site can strand more than $100 million of capital.
Stalled zoning
Planning boards and water districts are denying or delaying approvals over local supply.
Deferred NOI
Every month of delay pushes back roughly $9M in revenue per 100 MW and can put interconnection queue positions at risk.
Distant projects don't count
Zoning boards increasingly reject paper credits and distant projects that do nothing for the water supply they share with you.
Hyperlocal water conservation.
You sponsor Aleterra deployments on parks, sports fields, golf courses and other green spaces next to your campus. The biology cuts their irrigation 60–90%, and the water saved stays in the same watershed your facility draws from.
- Zero infrastructure or civil engineering on your site or theirs
- Deploys in 30–90 days, not years
- Visible to the community, including co-branded signage at treated sites
- Works for greenfield projects and existing campuses facing new scrutiny
- Verified by live telemetry, so the claim holds up with regulators and ESG auditors
Water positive for every cooling architecture.
Annual water conserved by a 500-acre program for a 100 MW campus, compared with that campus's estimated annual demand. Programs scale by acreage to hit any target.
| Cooling architecture | Est. annual demand (100 MW, all facility) | Aleterra annual conservation (500 acres) | Net-positivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air-cooled / dry-cooled | ~100,000 to 1,000,000 gal | 500,000,000 gal | 500x to 5,000x |
| Closed-loop / hybrid liquid | ~50M to 120M gal | 500,000,000 gal | 4x to 10x |
| Legacy evaporative towers | ~400M to 500M gal | 500,000,000 gal | 1.0x to 1.25x |
"All facility" includes secondary loads such as domestic plumbing, humidification and site maintenance. Estimates reflect baseline US Southwest conditions.
A 10-year program for about the cost of one month's delay.
The full 10-year program costs about the same as a single month of delayed NOI. Avoiding just a few weeks of zoning delay pays for it.
ROI
Secure local permission to operate and remove the risk of stranded hyperscale capital.
Asset protection
Protect the land and engineering capital already committed to the site.
Conserved locally
Water savings build to 500M+ gallons a year while monthly costs stay flat.
CO₂e per acre
Estimated carbon sequestered per acre over 10 years, a Scope 3 co-benefit.
Estimates reflect baseline US Southwest conditions. Timelines and material volumes scale with site-specific telemetry, including local weather, soil compaction and composition.

Proof that your capital caused the savings.
Three layers of data rule out greenwashing. Starting with a four-week baseline, we show that irrigation fell 60–90% while soil moisture stayed healthy, so the savings come from the soil, not from under-watering.
Underground sensors
Wireless sensors buried in the treated soil report moisture and temperature continuously.
Irrigation flow meters
Meters on the irrigation system record exactly how much water goes on the land.
Satellite and weather data
Imagery and local weather establish baselines and track evapotranspiration.
Validated. Proven. Measured.
Scientific verification
Sandia National LaboratoriesA multi-year federal field study (2022–2024) measured a 410% increase in beneficial fungi and a 70% increase in total soil microbiota.
Field validation
Golf courses, city parks and public groundsDeployed across the arid Southwest. Measured results include 80% less water at Whispering Winds Golf Course within four months and 33% less irrigation at Tularosa City Hall within 29 days.
Real-time telemetry
Underground sensors + flow metersBuried sensor arrays and irrigation flow meters set a baseline, then show water reduction live, so the savings are audit-ready.
