Comment on AI data center project sucked 29M gallons of waterparentComments−footydude4moOr are we talking about it only because it’s AI-related?We're absolutely only talking about it because it's AI.From about 5 minutes of digging, I found the below which perhaps helps to put the 29m gallons in context.The Fayette County Water System has a total production capacity of 22.8 million gallons per day (MGD).Source: https://fayettega.org/doing-business/global-access-infrastru...So...keeping things simple and using 30d months:Using 29M gallons over 15 months = 29,000,000 / (15 * 30) = 64,444 gallons per day avgBased on 22.8m daily production capacity that's less than 0.3% of the total production capacity per day.(Happy to be corrected if my napkin maths is wrong / i'm missing something here!)

So...keeping things simple and using 30d months:
Using 29M gallons over 15 months = 29,000,000 / (15 * 30) = 64,444 gallons per day avg
Based on 22.8m daily production capacity that's less than 0.3% of the total production capacity per day.
