"Earlier this year, Meta announced plans to build its headquarters in Southern Europe in the Spanish city of Talavera de la Reina—plans which, the local government claimed, would use “little or no” water. When details were released under pressure from the activist group Tu Nube Seca Mi Río (Your Cloud Dries My River), it came to light that the project would use 665.4 million liters of water every year—despite the mere 40.6 million allocated for it in municipal agreements. This is not an isolated incident; in 2022, a data center in the Netherlands was found to use over four times the amount of water its operator claimed. When Microsoft assessed the water footprint of one of its data centers in Texas, it discovered the true water cost was 11 times more than it was paying."
