Meta has become the latest global technology company to participate in an innovative water replenishment initiative aimed at addressing water scarcity in the Colorado River Basin. Through a new partnership with FIDO Tech, Meta will provide funding for the deployment of FIDO AI, an advanced leakage detection system, across 300 kilometers of clean water pipeline network in the City of Farmington. This initiative, set to run for ten years, is expected to reduce water loss and enhance local water resilience. The project is part of FIDO Plus, an award-winning partnership model under Water United—a newly established public-private coalition focused on developing watershed-level solutions for water scarcity.
