A massive #AI #datacenter project in California’s Imperial Valley is seeking access to #ColoradoRiver water after earlier stating it would not rely on the drought-stricken river.
The proposed facility could use an estimated 260 million gallons of water annually to cool AI servers, raising concerns about the environmental impact of the rapidly growing AI industry in water-stressed regions.
As AI infrastructure continues to expand, questions about its water and energy demands are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
Should water-intensive AI data centers face restrictions in areas already struggling with drought and water scarcity?
