• Google reuses toilet water to cool down Georgia data center

  • Untitled-1.jpgGoogle figured that toilet water doesn’t necessarily need to be flushed down the toilet, literally. Instead, the search engine giant has come up with an eco-friendly way to cool down its data centers, using water from toilets. As insanitary as this sounds, Google has come up with a foolproof plan to use waste water to cool down the western Georgia data center without raising a stench. Google figured the water used to cool down its systems doesn’t really require to be necessarily clean. This indeed is an innovative way to reuse waste water and decrease reliance on grid-connected cooling systems, making this plan put together with Google with help from the Sewer Authority a marvelously green one!
