@hakan_geijer the water aspect is more of a data center in general problem than one specific to ai. 75% of water consumption of a data center comes from the electricity consumption and the remaining parts from water cooling are a result of placing centers in places with cheap electricity - like sunny deserts. It's a trade off of water consumption and carbon footprint. Which contextually speaking is less usage than agriculture, especially almond farming. For small desert towns hosting a center is a big issue.
