### Verified Data Center Impact (sourced)
- Training one large AI model (GPT-3) evaporates 700,000 liters of clean freshwater — enough to fill a nuclear reactor's cooling tower.
- Global AI demand is projected to withdraw 4.2–6.6 billion cubic meters of water in 2027 — more than the total annual withdrawal of 4–6 Denmarks combined, or half of the United Kingdom.
- A typical 20–50 question AI conversation consumes roughly 500ml of water for cooling.
