@RoseFle54723126 @CheallaighNiamh The meta DC that used 921 ML’s (more than the entire amount irish water quoted for all centres) relies on public water - again this is in the article above.

@GymRobcom @CheallaighNiamh Irish water will only track their use of the public water supply. They do not track their private usage. That is why you have meta saying it uses x number of litres and it sounds at odds with what Irish water is saying.

On the same day that Intel announces a 5 bn investment for AI in Leixlip, Uisce Éireann announces a 6 week hosepipe ban. This is only going to get worse while our politicians and MSM pretend that this is a win for Ireland. They are literally giving away our natural resources.
Carlow Weather@CarlowWeather

Uisce Éireann has issued a six-week hosepipe ban for six areas around the country to protect water supplies. Dublin, south Tipperary, and parts of Kildare, Meath, Wexford and Wicklow. The ban begins shortly after midnight on Thursday, and will remain in place until 26 August.

@RoseFle54723126 @CheallaighNiamh For someone who doesn’t support DC’s you’re trying pretty hard to defend them. Not all of them have their own private water sources. You cited the 1% if you read the rest of that report you’d know this.

@RoseFle54723126 @CheallaighNiamh If this is true then they shouldn’t be misreporting the figures. And they should be sharing more detailed regional breakdowns of water usage.

@GymRobcom @CheallaighNiamh So complain about the electricity. I don't support data centres but let's not lie. Irish water says they use 1%. We know that our water is being lost through leaks.

@RoseFle54723126 @CheallaighNiamh New ones use this, but not all of them. Most of the Dublin ones use evaporative cooling, and when we’ve heat like we have now a lot of the closed loop ones switch to evaporative cooling. Closed loop also uses a lot more electricity, while evaporative uses more water

We need answers from Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) about water usage in data centres. Nobody knows or even seems to want to know how much water is being used by these energy-guzzling data centres. We need a ban on any more data centres. #BanDataCentres #HosepipeBan

@CheallaighNiamh Data centres use 1% of the water no? We don't need to make them the bogeyman about everything. Our water is fucked because we need a massive infrastructure redevelopment plan to replace the pipes in Dublin. We lose half our water to leaks.

@Sarahjdublin @davecoughlan80 Also the 1% they keep citing isn’t accurate. It’s from a 2021 Irish water report which didn’t realise that one data centre used more water in 2021 than the figure they cited for all DC’s combined.

@davecoughlan80 Dublin specifically has only 60% of water supply used by residential needs. Love how you ignore all the other points.

Data Centres are driving up electricity costs, using up our water, and taking up land that could be used for housing But there’ll always be idiots who defend them
Dave@davecoughlan80

@Sarahjdublin The majority of demand is residential. Unmanaged population growth is the primary reason for the supply squeeze. The 2016 NPF planned for pop growth of 0.8%....in reality, it surged to 1.9%. We've gone from baseline demand of 540m litres per day in 2016 to 690m in 2026.

@higginsdavidw The Irish water report is from 2021, and isn’t accurate. In the report it said all DC’s in Ireland used 810 ML of water, but Meta alone said they used 928ML’s of water in 2021. We’ve also build more DC’s since 2021, and demand for AI has increased.

@thingwhere @PBresnihan @fiona_boylan @IrishWater Can you show me your reference that says we don’t have any? Because there are numerous government reports saying our data centres are used to support AI services and workloads

@GymRobcom @PBresnihan @fiona_boylan @IrishWater Ireland doesn't have any AI datacentres and given the high-density power usage, is unlikely to be brought here due to the lack of sufficient power capacity or moves to increase that to the degree that would be needed to support it.

@GymRobcom @Astraea_1974 That one DC is an outlier in Ireland where most use air cooled non-evaporating systems that do not draw mains water. Even if you assume a reasonable multiple if 0.13%, you're still only at about 1% usage.

@Sharfowein @Astraea_1974 Your reference is from 2021 before demand for AI increased and more data centres were built, and it isn’t even accurate. In 2021 one DC admitted using 928 mega litres of water, more than the figure Irish water cited for all DC’s. dublininquirer.com/does-irish-wat…

@Lion_MFC22 @scousetina @PolitlcsUK But the heatwave would have accelerated it significantly. So people with a palliative illness who could’ve had years left to live, died from their illness because of the excessive heat

@Sharfowein @auric_k @PBresnihan @IsabelO20183051 Rinse and repeat, I’ve already replied to this above and you weren’t able to answer it. You can’t answer why we have a disproportionate amount in Ireland, or what benefit so many here have. DC’s in other countries also do exactly what you’re saying for jobs here.

@GymRobcom @auric_k @PBresnihan @IsabelO20183051 And yet you haven't managed to lose your blinkered take. Look beyond the direct jobs in DCs. They support hundreds of thousands of jobs all around the economy. Why do you struggle to understand that? 🤷‍♂️

Data centres use a lot of water, but they use even more during hot periods. While the government is set on growing the number of water-intensive data centres without any understanding of the implications, the media tells us to stop watering plants 1/3 rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@Sharfowein @auric_k @PBresnihan @IsabelO20183051 So we’ve come full circle to you not able to answer anything to your original wrong point. Again 3,300 direct jobs isnt significant employment, they consume massive amounts of electricity and water and AI is costing people 1,000’s of jobs You’re right to stick with the crayons.

@GymRobcom @auric_k @PBresnihan @IsabelO20183051 I didn't but it looks like I'll have to get my crayons out. They're part of global services that are part-delivered from Ireland in conjunction with significant employment here. They're a valuable part of our economy and they support a large number of jobs here. That's why.
