The development of AI data centers over the Ogallala Aquifer could exacerbate water scarcity in the region, impacting agricultural communities that depend on the aquifer for irrigation. Groundwater levels in some areas have already dropped by over 200 feet, with recharge rates far below withdrawal rates. Large data centers can consume millions of gallons of water daily, comparable to the needs of small towns. If water-intensive cooling technologies are used, the cumulative impact of multiple facilities could lead to permanent loss of irrigation capacity, rising water costs, and shifts in agricultural production. These risks are particularly concerning for rural economies reliant on farming.
