Why Data Centers Use So Much Water — And What Everyone Gets Wrong

from The Daniel Stih Podcast Hosted by Daniel Stih

When you hear that data centers use "millions of gallons of water," what is that number measuring? This episode breaks down how water use is calculated, how electricity and manufacturing get bundled into a single figure, and why that can lead to solving the wrong problem. A real-world example of how measurement, attribution, and assumptions shape the way we think—and what we do next.
