🚨 JUST IN: Florida Gov. 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?"

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

Georgia is basically turning into one large data center Get ready for this, there is no legal obligation for data centers to disclose how much water they will be using - Georgia currently has about 162 data centers already - They have an additional 141 new data centers planned - Combined these data centers will use 12+ GW or more of power, this is equivalent to the usage of 10 MILLION homes - Combined water usage estimate of 35+ billion gallons per year or higher Absolutely insane There is no comprehensive federal requirement for data centers to publicly report detailed water usage. A bill was introduced called “the Data Center Water and Energy Transparency Act” to mandate reporting of energy and water consumption to states and the EPA This is an issue, here’s one example The Quality Technology Services data center in Fayette County used 29–30 million gallons of water went unmetered and unbilled for months without initial detection. Residents complained about low pressure during drought conditions. The company later paid retroactively $150,000 but faced no fines

Yes, they are ready to build extensive doomsday bunkers in Greenland. Its elevation is perfect for surviving the Geophysical Event! Also there is plenty of fresh water for data centers and other resources for survival...

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

I’ve been quietly investigating water contamination in the UK’s supply chain, submitting FOI requests to nearly every water company for data spanning the past five years. I’m now beginning to receive official lab results — and what’s emerging is deeply concerning. Here’s what one water company’s data shows: – One water sample recorded 1.8 MILLION µg/L of lead — that’s 180,000 times the UK legal limit (10 µg/L) – Multiple spikes in iron, copper, aluminium, manganese, and nickel – No data disclosed on microplastics, PFAS (forever chemicals), or pharmaceuticals – Every breach triggered internal risk reviews — but no public warnings are mentioned in the FOI response Yes — this is pre-treatment data. But if contamination is this high at the source, it raises serious questions about infrastructure, monitoring, and public transparency. This is just one company. More data is on the way. The British public deserves to know what might be in their water. P.S. A big thank you to Josh Ferme for looking over the data — and apologies for mispronouncing your surname after all these years.

#WATCH | Idukki, Keralam: On Jal Jeevan Mission, BJP MP and Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Water Resources, Rajiv Pratap Rudy says, "... This is a powerful committee as it deals with drinking water and water resources across the country. The scope is wide. On drinking water, the Prime Minister’s strong initiative—the Jal Jeevan Mission—aims to provide safe water to every household. The Government of India has allocated Rs 8 lakh crore for its implementation nationwide. Kerala has performed well in earlier reviews, and it is expected to benefit further from this mission. Swachh Bharat is also linked, alongside wider water resource issues such as floods, dams, and irrigation. Around 80% of water is consumed in irrigation, and 20% for drinking. Reviews cover availability, groundwater depletion, contamination, and adequacy of water for future generations. The committee studies groundwater, irrigation, and disasters like landslides and flash floods. Reports come from the Central Water Commission, flood control authorities, and state disaster management forces, covering all aspects of water in Kerala and across India."

There’s a political push for more water-guzzling AI data centres in Canada. And uh, it looks like - at least in Alberta - they’re planning to plop most of them in high water stress areas. For Canada’s National Observer, let’s take about Rory White and @NBulowsk’s scary findings:

Handri Neeva water is now flowing from Kothacheruvu towards Puttaparthi. 🌊💧 With the expansion of irrigation and drinking-water projects, a large part of Rayalaseema is increasingly dependent on Krishna River water. In the coming years, a significant portion of Andhra Pradesh’s population may depend heavily on Krishna waters. This is a moment for us to think ahead and develop alternative and sustainable water sources. We should not depend completely on a single river or water source. One river cannot be the only lifeline for millions. We must plan today for the water security of tomorrow. 🌱💧

Winnebago County, Wisconsin is considering data center regulations due to water quality, energy and cleanup liability concerns Officials say they found Microplastics buildup from an abandoned small data center in Lake Winnebago Forever chemicals contamination from data centers happens a lot more often than you’d think. It can be caused from their cooling systems, fire suppression systems and airport PFAS leaks happen One happened in North Carolina that contaminated 7,000 drinking water wells

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

Apart from the fact that the turbidity level of most rivers have moved from bad to worst in the last 8months, let no one mislead you to accept just tubidity level as measure. It’s just one indicator. What is the true measure of water quality is the WATER QUALITY INDEX by the Water Resources commission. It uses the turbidity levels and other 4 indicators to ascertain our water quality. That’s more comprehensive. st ixahalli Trors in the rdmye thewer And the records from 2005 - 2024 show clearly that, the water quality deteriorated from bad to worst anytime the NDC is in power and improves when NPP comes to power. As at 2010 when the river Galamsey escalated in earnest under the NDC government, the 40 fairly Good water were destroyed and as at 2016, the NDC left us with only 15 Fairly Good water and 25 Poor quality water. The NPP between 2017 - 2024 improved our water 15 to 29 Fairly Good water and reduced the poor quality water from 25 to 10 with 1 Good Quality water. Let no one tell you otherwise, the data is available online. Read for yourself. Galamsey remains a major challenge for this country and the earlier this NDC government realizes the times we are in, stop referencing Akufo-Addo and get to work to fix the situation the better. The record of the NDC per the data is clear. Times have changed and people are now ready to hear and understand the issues than they did in the past and there will be no room for misleading information. #GalamseyEnablers

Today we're launching Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) Hebbian Robotics . We build APIs for evaluating data quality, without training a robotics model. Data vendors use our API to search and analyze Physical AI data at scale, getting on-demand quality signals and metrics without managing infrastructure. High-quality data is the bottleneck to the next frontier of intelligence in robotics. Buyers want data they can trust. Data providers are focused on operational excellence. They don't have the bandwidth to understand the quality of their data at scale. We're fixing this. Vendors use our APIs to understand the impact of their decisions on their data quality: - Buyers demanding per-collector hour limits? Prove compliance while we stay ahead of the workarounds. - Changed your collection SOPs? Monitor for quality drift and regression. - Suspect duplicate samples? Verify with a single API call. Before Hebbian, I trained AI models for industrial cleaning robots, and Kingston Kuan spent years building large-scale infrastructure at Jane Street.

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
