"The water consumption of big tech data centers is staggering. Google, for instance, disclosed that its data centers consumed a whopping 4.34 billion gallons of water in 2021 alone. To put this into perspective, Google compared its water usage to that of 29 golf courses in the southwest US. Meta, formerly known as Facebook, reported withdrawing over 5 million cubic meters of water, equivalent to approximately 1.33 billion gallons, for its data centers in 2021. These figures highlight the significant strain on Arizona’s already limited water resources."
