In 2023, the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer TSMC claimed to have saved 286 million metric tons of water. The issue of water usage is a crucial issue in the chip manufacturing process because water plays an integral role, which leads to a high water consumption. As a consequence, Taiwanese chip manufacturers compete with local farmers for water resources after the island experienced the worst drought in 56 years in 2021.
