Water Restoration in Ohio
To support Intel’s commitment to achieve net positive water, we have funded one water restoration project benefiting Ohio. Once fully implemented, this project will restore an estimated 27 million gallons each year.
This page provides a summary of Intel-funded projects to support Ohio water resources.
Dillon Lake Wetland Restoration
Location: Licking River Watershed, Ohio
Implementation Partner: H2Ohio Program, Ohio Department of Natural Resources
Estimated Restoration Benefit1: 27 million gallons per year when fully implemented
Project Status: Initiated in 2024
Project Description: The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) manages property around Dillon Lake, approximately 40 miles east of New Albany, for wildlife habitat and recreational purposes. ODNR will convert approximately 90 acres of cropland into a wetland and floodplain treatment train. The project, which will reconnect the lake to the Licking River, will help reduce sediment and nutrient loading to Dillon Lake, as well as reduce the intensity of algal blooms.

2030 Goal: Net Positive Water
Over the last two decades, our sustainable water management efforts have enabled us to conserve billions of gallons of water and return approximately 80% of our water use back to our communities. Now, we are broadening our focus to achieve net positive water use by conserving 60 billion gallons of water and funding water projects that restore more fresh water than we consume to our local watersheds.
