Water worries rise as Google data centers loom in The Dalles
The Dalles Oregon faces drought and rising concerns over Google plans for multiple data centers that could use millions of gallons daily. Residents fear reduced farm irrigation and drinking water while city officials weigh rights to 3.9 million gallons per day. Google says it seeks sustainable growth with potential aquifer storage and ongoing talks with authorities. Amazon meanwhile uses water mainly in summer and reuses it for irrigation, with local officials noting benefits to farms but critics urging careful regional water planning.
