Project Jupiter Launches Initiative to Save More Water Than It Uses in New Mexico

Austin, Texas-Aug 11, 2026

Oracle today announced a partnership with Arable that will fund projects to conserve more water than Project Jupiter uses in New Mexico. The work will take place in the Rio Grande-Bravo watershed, the same watershed that serves Project Jupiter, and will conserve approximately 21 million gallons of water annually. This is more than 20 times the amount of water needed to run Project Jupiter's cooling and power systems, and more than the campus's total potable and non-potable consumption combined at peak employment.

Arable, an agricultural technology company that helps farmers use water more efficiently, will work with regional agricultural experts, researchers, and local growers to carry out the program. The program will combine in-field sensors with training and ongoing support to inform growers' irrigation decisions with real-time data specific to their crops and fields.

"Our approach to water in New Mexico is simple: use water as efficiently as possible in our operations, then invest in practical, local projects that improve local water infrastructure, conservation, and availability for the community," said Scott Twaddle, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "By working with Arable, local growers, and trusted community organizations, we are investing in an innovative solution that will create lasting benefits for people, agriculture, and the environment. This is an important part of responsible data center development and a critical element of our plan to ensure that local residents benefit from Project Jupiter."

The Arable partnership builds on Project Jupiter's broader investment in responsible water use and infrastructure in southern New Mexico, including a $50 million commitment to improve local water and wastewater systems in Doña Ana County for residents and businesses.

Helping New Mexico Farmers Use Water More Efficiently

Arable's in-field sensors provide farmers with real-time information about crop water needs and weather conditions. This helps farmers irrigate based on current conditions instead of relying only on fixed schedules, reducing unnecessary water use while supporting productive farms.

Agricultural specialists and Arable's agronomy team will provide hands-on training and ongoing support to help growers put the field-level data into practice to ensure the project's long-term sustainability.

"Growers know their land and crops better than anyone, and our role is to give them trusted, timely information to support and inform more precise irrigation decisions," said Jim Ethington, CEO of Arable. "This program will help growers reduce unnecessary irrigation, maintain productive farms, and preserve more water for New Mexico's communities and the environment."

Measuring and Validating the Results

An independent third-party assessor will validate the program's water savings using a recognized methodology for measuring and verifying water conservation projects. Oracle will publish the validation reports to ensure the results are transparent, measurable, and credible.

Oracle's partnership with Arable builds on Project Jupiter's extensive efforts to minimize water use, improve local water infrastructure in Doña Ana County, and develop responsibly to benefit New Mexico. Project Jupiter is expected to deliver $4.7 billion in economic benefits, create 7,000 construction jobs and 1,500 good-paying ongoing jobs, and operate with a focus on responsible resource use. Over 15 years, Project Jupiter will use the equivalent of just nine single-family homes' water use, including its one-time initial fill, using only non-potable water. Its independent energy system will also help protect local ratepayers while significantly reducing emissions.
