Summary:
- Texas is home to several large data centers that use artificial intelligence (AI) technology. These data centers require a lot of water to operate, using up to 463 million gallons of water.
- Due to the high water usage by these AI data centers, residents in Texas are being asked to cut back on their water usage, such as taking shorter showers, to help conserve the limited water resources.
- The high water consumption by the AI data centers is raising concerns about the environmental impact and the strain on the local water supply, especially during periods of drought.
