By 2030, AI could consume as much water as 1.3B people in sub-Saharan Africa and triple the energy use of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria combined, according to a UN University study. #AI#DataCenters#Energy#Water
Global data-center water use could nearly triple from 222B liters in 2025 to 644B liters by 2030, Rystad estimates. Aggressive water-saving measures could cut that to 388B liters as AI drives capacity growth. #AI#DataCenters#Water
Water scarcity is becoming an energy-security problem. Falling reservoirs, drought-hit rivers and extreme heat can constrain hydropower, nuclear plants and grids just as AI data centers drive power and water demand higher. #Energy#Water#Power
Dutch Clean Tech, a Heerhugowaard-based company that develops, finances, builds, and operates #water#treatment and drinking water projects around the world, has raised €15 million in #funding. 🇳🇱 🚰 🤝
