The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places:

How we understand virtual water trade in green- & blue-water stocks & flows is vital against drought 💦

Looking forward to this. Sadly, can only join online. In case I get caught up, will it be recorded?
