Google is supporting water resilience in Chile.
Google is investing $1.2M to line Chile's Unidos de Buin canal, saving 1.9 billion gallons of water annually. See how we boost watershed health.
Google is strengthening water resilience in Chile by investing $1.2 million to Aguas Andinas. This funding will be used to line a 2.5-kilometer section of the Unidos de Buin Canal Association's main irrigation canal. The concrete lining will prevent water from seeping away, allowing more water to be available for local agricultural irrigation.
The project aims to reduce sedimentation and erosion, which will improve water quality. Over its lifespan, the effort is projected to save up to 7.4 million cubic meters of water each year. Google's commitment to water stewardship in Chile aligns with its broader goal of replenishing more water than it consumes.
