There are over 10,000 data centers in the cloud, most of which are located in the United States, then the United Kingdom and Germany.
As artificial intelligence increases at the moment, this number is growing rapidly. There are also complaints from nearby residents.
According to the Data Center Watch Monitor Group report, US data centers celebrate the challenge of local activation.
Even concerns are not limited to the data center, it also recognizes the water use, which requires a lot of water to keep the frige.
Mark Lipers from the National Design Assessment Center before meeting in April."It takes a lot of water to heal them."
Many centers use evaporation systems where water absorbs heat and evaporates - similarly to the way of absorbing sweat and the release of the heat of our body.On hot days, one installation can consume millions of liters.
One study estimates that artificial data centers can spend between 4.2 billion and 6.6 billion cubic meters worldwide to 2027.
Only a few places that make this stress cleanse rather than Georgia, which result from Georgia.
Its wet weather is a natural and economic source of data centers to heal, which makes the situation attractive to programmers.
Garden Rogers is the executive director of Flint Riverkeeper, a non -profit firm to monitor Rio Flint's health.
He led our reporting group to the data center building site, which was built by American quality technology services (QTS).
George Dietz, a local volunteer, collects a sample of water and places in a transparent plastic bag.The water is blurred and brown.
He said, "There is no color," it indicates the flow of chemicals used in the construction to fix the soil and prevent ions, but the flow to the water system can create a system, produce mud.

In the American continent says the hevs, water is only valid of about 10% of the hottest of the year.
Nevertheless, the numbers are important.ONEKE Artificial Intelligence Consultation - for example the Chatgpt's request - can use the amount of water that corresponds to a small bottle that you buy in the supermarket.It is multiplied by advice and size.
Professor Rajiv Curger teaches Curom Computing at Emory Atlanta University We are not the data university.
Garg said, "There is no way to go back."
To the study, secret is to think for a long time: Singer cool systems, collect water water and well worked.
