Big Tech is building massive data centers, and 40% of the planned and existing centers across the US are in areas with "extremely high" or "high" water scarcity.

Mounting evidence points to these data centers exacerbating water shortages across the country.

Profiting from scarcity in an essential of life is bad enough. But these companies helped create the scarcity. 🧵

A dome-shaped device floating in Halifax’s Northwest Arm could easily be confused with a buoy, but it is actually a contraption meant to turn ocean water into fresh water. Two Dalhousie University researchers hope it can help with water scarcity in the real world.

The climate water wars are upon us, but in some parts of the world water scarcity has been around for millennia.

This interesting post by @richard.wickedproblems.earth explores how water scarcity shaped thinking in biblical times and how our societies today are blundering into water chaos:
Water is Never Neutral
Blowing up the "waters of life" was a war crime. It's also sacrilege.

If there’s a water shortage, don’t subsidize showers. If there’s a blackout, don’t make AC cheaper. If there’s an oil shortage, don’t cut gas taxes.

Prices are helping signal scarcity. A gas tax holiday weakens that signal right when it matters most.

A new study finds that global water shortages will worsen as temperatures rise.

Under 3°C warming, water gaps could grow by nearly 15%, worsening scarcity.
