Drowning In Drought — The Water Crisis Data Centers Are Making Worse

from Echoes From The Edge · host echoesfromtheedge

Data centers don't just eat electricity — they drink water by the millions of gallons every single day. In Episode 3 Kiler Davenport exposes the staggering water consumption numbers being hidden in plain sight — from the NSA's Utah facility drinking 126 million gallons in a single year, to one Arkansas data center projected to drain four million gallons on a single hot day, to the Georgia data center that secretly consumed 29 million gallons before residents even knew it existed.

One data center. Four million gallons of water. Every hot day. And they told you it won’t affect your supply. Episode 3 of the Data Center Truth Series is about the water being consumed before you even know to ask the question.
