Hyperscale data center may consume 1 million to 5 million gallons of water daily, study says

[Attaqa] Water consumption at data centers is drawing attention as scientific assessments warn of worsening water-footprint and social challenges tied to artificial intelligence, according to Attaqa. A study from the University of California, reviewed by Attaqa's energy research unit, found that a hyperscale data center may consume between 1 million and 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to about 3.7 million to 19 million liters.
