Artificial intelligence guzzles billions of liters of water

This is not an isolated case in the United States, a country that concentrates approximately 30% of all the data centers in the world. Arizona, Utah and South Carolina are well aware of the insatiable thirst of this type of infrastructure.

They are also familiar with it in the Netherlands, where Microsoft was involved in a scandal last year when news broke out that one of its facilities consumed four times more water than declared in a context of drought.

Or in Germany, where Brandenburg authorities denied Google permission to build a data center in the region, as a Tesla gigafactory was already consuming too much water.
