Water Positive is a corporate commitment to replenish more water to the environment and communities than an organization consumes, over a defined boundary and timeframe. Data-center operators pursue it through on-site water reduction, reuse and off-site replenishment projects such as watershed restoration. As a claim it faces scrutiny similar to carbon neutrality, since accounting boundaries and the quality of replenishment projects vary widely.
