Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are projected to spend approximately $1 trillion on AI infrastructure over two years. Data centers operated by these companies are consuming significantly more water than reported, with consumption expected to increase rapidly in the future.

Data centers consume vast amounts of energy to support increasing digital services and computing power, resulting in significant heat emissions. For example, Equinix, based in California, is the world's largest data center operator and contributes to local temperature increases due to heat generated.
