"The Oregonian revealed that Google’s global data centers guzzled 15 billion gallons of water in 2022, after it challenged the city of Dallas, Oregon to disclose how much water a single Google data center in the region was using. The investigation showed that the company consumed about 1.25 billion liters of water in the area in 2021 alone. That is enough water to supply more than a million households for a year, according to some estimates."
