In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana unpack the rising—and often hidden—water cost of Artificial Intelligence. As demand for AI infrastructure explodes, so does its need for water to cool servers and generate off-site electricity, often in already water-stressed regions. Drawing from an Aquatech deep-dive, the episode explores how data centers are competing with local communities for clean water, and whether innovations like closed-loop cooling or underwater data centers can offset the damage. Can AI help fix the very crisis it’s making worse?
