These lawsuits are mostly Chinese funded Bullshit. Especial the ones pertaining to water usage. Don't see anyone complaining about Golf courses.
Average Daily Water Usage
Typical/average data center: Roughly 300,000 gallons per day (for a medium-sized facility).
Larger hyperscale data centers (common for cloud/AI workloads) often range from 500,000 to over 1–5 million gallons per day at peak, depending on power capacity (e.g., 100 MW+ facilities) and cooling systems. Many modern ones use far less with advanced dry cooling, recycling, or non-potable water.
Average 18-hole golf course: Roughly 312,000 gallons per day (primarily for irrigation of turf/grass).
In arid regions (e.g., Southwest US like Palm Springs), this can jump to 1 million gallons per day or more. Nationally, usage has declined over time due to better efficiency, but 200–400,000 gallons/day is a common benchmark for a standard course
