CORRECT ANSWER:
No, most data centers are not required to track how much water they use.

Ninety-seven percent of data centers draw water from municipal systems, which can rely on underground aquifers, with little transparency. These data centers aren’t required to report or track their water use. In fact, fewer than one-third of data centers even track their water use. Families, farmers, and communities share this same water.

The Alliance for the Great Lakes is working for more transparency, stronger laws, and better reporting. We can support economic development while protecting our water resources.

Your support helps protect the groundwater that millions of people depend on for drinking water.

Right now, your gift will go twice as far. A generous donor is doubling every dollar to protect the Great Lakes and the people who call this region home.

Together we can keep our water clean, safe, and available for generations to come.
