The Rio Grand River is extremely dry A combination of drought and heavy water use is now resulting in entire stretches of the river being bone dry 87% of the water goes to agriculture. META’s data center is using 75 million gallons per year. There are also 21 operating or planned data centers Mexico uses the water for their agriculture as well No foreign country should get water when its this dry

Nara Lokesh on the Data Centre debate: “Had we listened to those who opposed computers in 1995, Hyderabad wouldn’t have become an IT hub.” Now, he says, the same fear-mongering is happening over Visakhapatnam’s Data Centres. 6.5 GW Data Centre capacity → ~3 TMC water Godavari water flowing into sea → ~3,000 TMC annually Water for Data Centres → only from industrial allocation Drinking water → won’t be touched “A 1 GW thermal power plant uses nearly 10X more water than a 1 GW Data Centre. Why is nobody questioning that?” He added that newer air-cooling technologies could bring data centre water consumption down further.

🚨🇬🇧 Parts of UK run out of Water A few warm days and people in Kent have to get bottled water. Whilst this is Legacy Media fear-mongering propaganda. There are now another 20-30Million people living in the UK, all consuming water. Now Data Centres are being constructed - the drain on Water will be real. Head of the WEF said Water “needs to be tokenised”. It’s coming.

When people say data centers use millions of gallons of water, they're describing an old technology. Before, water went into evaporative cooling towers. Warm water pulled heat off the AI chips, then evaporated into the air to shed it. It was effective, but it burned through fresh water continuously, which is where the headline numbers come from today around "data centers use a massive amount of water." The data centers we revealed at Build today don't work that way. The cooling loop is closed. Water is added once during construction and recirculates indefinitely between the servers and the chillers. No evaporation, no fresh-water resupply! Satya put the scale in plain terms: a full year of water use is roughly what a single restaurant uses. Keep in mind that for us, every liter and every watt is an optimization target. The economics and the environment push in the same direction!

DATA CENTRES Let me share some uncomfortable information The data Centres they are seeking to build will be the surveillance centres. They will act like the prison warden, monitoring and allocating punishments and giving scores. For those data Centres to work, they will need FRESH WATER to cool the hardware. They will need to divert water from entire dams towards the data centre. For example all the water feeding the Nairobi population will need to be diverted to the data centres for cooling the systems. See the number of legal cases in the USA against the data Centres. We have not talked about radiation that they will produce and affect the populations living in the environs

SICKENING: AOC Just showed off the Georgia drinking water from Meta's AI Data Centers. Thank you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "This is the current drinking water in Morgan County, Georgia. Right after a data center was constructed, the metadata center was constructed, the only difference between the clean water and this was that data center. I have another one as well. So this wasn't just one well, these wasn't just one family's situation. This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center. And I think both of us can agree that neither one of these things are drinkable. These families now have to ship, in a rural area, have to ship water to their house in order to cook and bathe themselves."

Amazon agrees to pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that its data centers in Morrow County Oregon contributed to contaminating ground water with nitrate pollution in the agricultural community Here’s what happens - Amazon uses huge volumes of water to cool its data centers - Because the data centers use water that has nitrates in it from the area, water evaporates during the cooling process - What's left is highly concentrated nitrate water - That highly concentrated nitrate water then goes back out over the farmland, seeping back into the groundwater water Now imagine this nationwide on a massive scale due to thousands of data centers being built

Where are all the doomsday climate alarmists now? A quarter of Sydney’s drinking water could soon be needed to cool 270 new AI data centres. Australia is on track to become the world’s second-biggest data centre market. The government is still charging ahead with Net Zero. Have they even factored data centres into the equation?

Ron DeSantis has just BANNED AI data centers from using up all the water needed by citizens during a drought And the law BANS utility companies from charging higher prices because of data centers "How are you going to say that somehow the water can go to a data center when we need to water for our own people and for the core functions of our society?"

Otter versus Salmon. An Otter (Lutra lutra) battles it out with an Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) on the bank of the River Mulkear, Co. Limerick. The determination of the salmon to get back into the river, despite the odds, highlights the resilience of this species. Salmon only need half a chance, and we are not giving them that. The River Mulkear forms part of the Lower River Shannon SAC. Both Otter and Atlantic salmon are Qualifying Interests of this Natura 2000 site. Native natural predators are not a key factor in the decline of salmon populations; predation is a natural and ecologically important process that salmon have evolved with.

Lake Powell is now at critically low levels Just last year the water level was at the darker spot on this large rock. It was very high and full of people doing water sports In addition to the drought, the demand for the water far exceeds the supply. The Colorado River is over-allocating its water to meet demand The reservoir is only 23% full (it looks even less than that), down significantly from last year Agriculture accounts for a large amount of water uses. Data centers also contribute, but much lower

Erin Brockovich is sounding the alarm on the impact data centers are having on rural communities' water supply. “These big data centers are coming into rural areas of farmland where a lot of people are on their own well water.” “They report a reduction in water pressure. Their water is just dripping into a bucket.” “They’re very concerned that they could lose their aquifers, and they could literally be out of water.” As AI drives a massive data center boom, many rural communities are raising concerns about depleted aquifers, falling water pressure, and growing strain on local water supplies. Rural families should not be forced to compete with massive corporations for access to clean water and other essential resources. Erin Brockovich

Data Centers are coaching their workers on how to lie to the public and their family about how Data Center water usage is actually a good thing “I work at an architecture firm that mainly does data centers, and just to give you all an idea of how out of touch the people making these things are. Today we had a meeting where we were essentially asked to defend the water usage of data centers to our friends and family in conversation at the dinner table or online. They provided them with a graph to break down water usage (included) but I’ll go over it The chart compares “domestic water usage” (toilets, sinks, etc.) for a typical-sized closed-loop data center of 600,000 gallons per year against other things of “equivalent square footage”: Cornfield: 5.85 million gallons Vineyard: 5.60 million Golf course: 5.45 million Peanut farm: 2.88 million Movie theater: 935,000 5 households: 730,000 They make the point that “Data centers aren’t the big water users you think” But that’s not really true “It's still using an incredible amount of water — and the key piece of evidence here was when someone gets pissed at a data center's water usage, ask them if they like golf. And when they say yes, let them know that a golf course uses 9 times as much water much water as a data center. That'll shut them up, because no one disapproves of golf courses using an exorbitant amount of water…” Not to mention, this is incredibly misleading The 600,000 gallons is mostly just building operations of things like sinks and bathrooms. It downplays or completely excludes the main water use, which is cooling the servers More fake propaganda

FACT CHECK: 89,230 cusecs of water Former irrigation minister and senior leader of BRS, T Harish Rao fact-checks CM Revanth Reddy on Godavari water. While CM Revanth Reddy at a press conference said that there is no water to switch on the Kannepalli pump house and draw water from Godavari, Harish Rao shows LIVE official data of the water flow in Kaleshwaram. As per the live data, at 1pm today, 89,230 cusecs of Godavari river water is flowing. All this water will go into the sea because no one is thinking about farmers or general public. El-Nino is not a time to do stupid, degenerated water politics 🙏🏽 The Congress government should focus on ensuring every drop from Krishna & Godawari rivers is utilised properly.

Erin Brockovich Warns AI Data Centers Are Draining America’s Water “Some data centers can use up to 30 million gallons of water. They’re utilizing water from the aquifers and municipal waters, so people with their own wells are reporting that their wells are running dry. They’re having to dig deeper because of these mass amounts of water that these data centers require to stay cool. People are reporting water disruptions, no water at all, low water pressure, discolored water, and utility bills going from $40 a month to $800 a month. The constant 24/7 humming and buzzing is literally driving them insane. When tens of thousands of people are experiencing the exact same thing from the exact same data centers, why are we not listening to them?” Erin Brockovich

The Water Services Department announced by the end of the year, Phoenix will likely enter stage 2 of the plan where they will have to use backup water supplies to meet demand. It may include things like additional conservation education, expansion of water audits, incentives and rebates to ensure efficient use of water” “It could also bring surcharges, meaning if someone uses more water than what they are allocated, they could face additional charges for it.” But Arizona lawmakers are allowing 30-50+ data centers Make it make sense

Salmon Romesco - easy and full of flavor. Recipe below ⬇️ GRILLED SALMON WITH ALMOND TARRAGON ROMESCO Pairing romesco with grilled salmon is a solid match because the nuttiness of the romesco holds up well to the char on the fish. ROMESCO ½ cup whole almonds, toasted ½ cup fresh basil leaves ½ cup fresh tarragon leaves ½ cup piquillo peppers, drained well l garlic clove ¼ cup sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt SALMON 4 skin-on center-cut salmon fillets (each about 6 ounces) Canola oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper To make the romesco: In a food processor, combine the almonds, basil, tarragon, piquillos, and garlic. Pulse to make a chunky paste. In a spouted measuring cup, mix together the vinegar and oil, and with the processor running pour it in to make a thick, chunky sauce. Add 1 tablespoon or so of water to adjust the consistency, if necessary. Season with salt to taste. To make the salmon: Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush the grill pan and salmon with oil. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Grill, skin side down, until the skin is crispy, and then flip and grill until the salmon is just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve the salmon with a dollop of romesco on top.
