| Abstract: | The article focuses on the rapid growth of data centers, driven by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and digital services. It highlights the significant economic benefits these facilities provide, including local tax revenue, while also addressing the environmental challenges they pose, particularly regarding water consumption. The 2024 US Data Center Energy Usage Report indicates a substantial rise in water usage for cooling, projecting future increases that could strain water infrastructure. The article emphasizes the need for water utilities to adapt their planning and infrastructure to accommodate the demands of data centers while ensuring sustainable water supply and avoiding overbuilding.
