Big Data Centers, Bigger Impacts

As demand for data centers continues to grow, increasingly massive data centers are being built across the United States, raising new concerns about water use, water pollution, electricity demand, climate change pollution, and other effects on surrounding communities. Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund are working with communities, experts, and policymakers to better understand these impacts and advocate for greater transparency, stronger environmental safeguards, and policies that protect clean water, public health, and the environment.
