> Water is another issue for xAI. Data centers use massive amounts of water to cool their servers; xAI says it will need 1 million gallons of water a day, which is about *3% of the total capacity of the local wellfield, according to the nonprofit Protect Our Aquifer. This is the same wellfield that provides drinking water to residents.* Along with the gas generators, it’s using ~1,000,000 gallons of water per day, 3% of the capacity of water used by residents. That is equivalent to the usage of ~12,195 adult human’s water usage per day [1]. And depending on the size, a little less than 1 to 1/16 of the net consumption of water used by a fracking well [2]. 1. https://www.epa.gov/watersense/statistics-and-facts https://www.epa.gov/watersense/statistics-and-facts 2. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-water-does-typical-hydraulically-fractured-well-require https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-water-does-typical-hydrau...
