Water-information request

Hello,

I am seeking publicly shareable information about water use at Google Horndal in Horndal, Sweden. Could you please share the following for this specific project?

1. The latest annual water withdrawal and water consumption, with units and reporting period. Please distinguish measured use from projections, and site totals from cooling-only figures.
2. Water sources (drinking water, reclaimed/industrial water, rainwater or seawater), cooling method, and any seasonal or peak-day demand figures.
3. How water demand is managed during drought or supply restrictions, and where treated water is discharged or reused.
4. Links to relevant water permits, environmental assessments and public monitoring reports, including the responsible authority.

If the project is still in development, projected figures and their assumptions would be helpful. If information is unavailable, please identify what is not disclosed and whether another team can help.

Thank you for helping make this information accessible.

Best regards,
[Your name]
