Amazon has announced its third water replenishment project in Northwest Indiana and another in India.
The US project will support the restoration of approximately 425 acres in Bogus Run, a waterway that feeds into the Kankakee River.

Set to be completed in collaboration with the Shirley Heinze Land Trust at its “Big Eastern” property, the initiative will focus on restoring native sand prairie and woodland habitats through long-term land stewardship. The project will run from 2027 through 2031, alongside maintenance and monitoring in subsequent years.
Planned activities at the site include invasive vegetation management across approximately 325 acres, selective woodland restoration across 200 acres, and the establishment of 30 acres of native sand prairie. Amazon claims that the work will improve regional water retention and availability by more than 110 million gallons (416.4 million liters) annually.
