Lake Mead is on the border between Nevada and Arizona and it’s water levels are now critically low

There are many Data Centers that have been put in the Lake Mead area and draw directly from the lake

- Google’s Henderson data center consumed roughly 352 million gallons in one year. It directly pulls from the Lake Mead sourced municipal supply

- Flexential Data Center facility used around 20 million gallons in one year

- Other Data Centers in the area collectively used over 716 million gallons in 2024, with nearly all the water drawing from Colorado River and Lake Mead sources

Pair this with droughts, water demand from agriculture and resident use and now there is almost nothing left… just look at this….

The lake is only at about 32% capacity

Why is this being allowed

All this used to be underwater
