Gradiant, a global provider of advanced water and wastewater solutions, has announced the deployment of its HyperSolved platform — an integrated cooling water solution for AI data centres — with several of the world’s leading hyperscale operators across key global markets.
The announcement comes as AI infrastructure growth accelerates worldwide, intensifying pressure on water resources. According to Gradiant, global data centre capacity is projected to increase six-fold between 2025 and 2035, with next-gen AI facilities consuming substantially more water for cooling than traditional computing infrastructure. A single 100MW hyperscale campus can require daily water volumes equivalent to that used by a city of 80,000 people.
As hyperscalers face mounting constraints around water availability, discharge regulations and permitting, Gradiant is positioning HyperSolved as an alternative to the fragmented water management systems traditionally used in data centres. The platform integrates the full cooling water lifecycle — from sourcing and treatment to reuse and discharge — under a single operational model aimed at improving reliability and reducing deployment complexity.
“We are in the middle of a once-in-a-generation build-out of AI infrastructure,” said Prakash Govindan, CEO of Gradiant. “Today, water is still managed through a patchwork of vendors and solutions that were never designed for hyperscale. HyperSolved changes that by treating water as critical infrastructure.”
The platform incorporates alternative water sourcing, including municipal reuse and impaired water supplies, alongside integrated treatment systems, AI-enabled operational monitoring and high-recovery reuse technologies designed to reduce freshwater dependency and minimise discharge volumes.
Gradiant said demand for integrated water infrastructure among hyperscale operators is growing rapidly, with the company expecting data centres to account for approximately 25% of its global business by 2027. The company is currently deploying HyperSolved across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, supporting hyperscalers, developers and engineering partners seeking to scale AI infrastructure while managing rising environmental and operational risks.
“You run the data centre. We manage the water layer,” said Sankar Natarajan, head of special projects at Gradiant. “HyperSolved gives operators a clear path to scale with less risk and fewer constraints.”
