印度领导全球AI乐观,但面临缺水风险; Ecolab部署AI将用水量削减40%。 India leads global AI optimism but faces water scarcity risks; Ecolab deploys AI to cut water use by 40%.

一项2025年的生态实验室研究发现,印度在全球对AI的潜力抱持乐观态度,但尽管70%的消费者承认AI的用水需求,但对其水足迹的认识仍然很低。 A 2025 Ecolab study finds India leads global optimism about AI’s potential, but awareness of its water footprint remains low despite 70% of consumers acknowledging AI’s water demands. 超过三分之二的印度答复者认为水再利用对商业可持续性至关重要,64%的印度人对AI造成缺水感到关切。 Over two-thirds of Indian respondents see water reuse as critical for business sustainability, with 64% concerned about AI contributing to water scarcity. 这项研究强调,随着工业和数字增长的加速,在公众对技术驱动的水解决办法的有力支持下,需要水循环。 The study highlights the need for water circularity as industrial and digital growth accelerates, with strong public support for tech-driven water solutions. 生态实验室正在印度部署AI-动力系统,将淡水使用量减少40%,使接近零液体排放成为可能,帮助供水紧张地区的作业。 Ecolab is deploying AI-powered systems in India that reduce freshwater use by up to 40% and enable near-zero liquid discharge, helping operations in water-stressed regions. 全球水的再利用仍然低于20%,关键部门低于10%,突出表明迫切需要跨部门合作。 Global water reuse remains below 20%, with key sectors under 10%, underscoring the urgent need for cross-sector collaboration.
