This is the Rio Grande in New MexicoIt’s currently completely dry
Meta’s data center in Los Lunas in central New Mexico is using 75 million gallons of water per year from the Rio Grande water
But they’re not the only Data Center using Rio Grande water, there’s many more.
The Rio Grande River is dry through here for a few reasons
– Extremely low snowpack this winter
– Record-low reservoir levels like Elephant Butte, which is New Mexico’s largest on the Rio Grande are at critically low levels
– Agriculture uses 85% of water use from the Rio Grande in New Mexico, it’s unsustainable long-term
– Data CentersThe exact number actively drawing from it right now is not fully public due to limited transparency on water rights
Total data centers in New Mexico: Around 21 operating or planned facilities. These centers collectively consume up to 1.8 billion gallons per year
Large proposed projects like Project Jupiter near El Paso are in the Lower Rio Grande region and would require significant ongoing water use
This isn’t sustainable. This can’t continue

Erin Brockovich has launched a new interactive website and map tracking data centers across America — and the response has been overwhelming.In just the first week, the site logged 1,690 resident complaints, with over 1,800 submissions coming in from 47 states shortly after launch.
Residents are reporting serious issues including:
• Massive water usage draining local supplies
• Sharply rising utility bills for nearby homes
• Constant 24/7 noise from fans and generators disrupting sleep and daily life
• Concerns over e-waste and potential PFAS contaminationThis comes from the same Erin Brockovich who famously won a $333 million settlement against PG&E in the 1990s for contaminating drinking water in Hinckley, California.
The map shows operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, allowing people to submit reports with photos and locations.
What the map shows~
• Major AI data centers (operational, under construction, or proposed) across the U.S.
• Overlaid with community-reported concerns (pins from residents emailing in issues).
• You can click markers for details, sources, and reports. It uses a leaflet/OpenStreetMap-based interactive map.
Stats from the site (as of ~May 24, 2026)
• 33 Operational (built & running)• 44 Under Construction (announced or building)
• 27 Proposed (in pipeline/pending approval)
• Hundreds/thousands of community reports nationwide (earlier reports mentioned 2,700+ submissions from 49 states, with Texas leading heavily).
Many Americans are now asking whether the rapid expansion of data centers is coming at too high a cost to local communities and the environment.
