The UK water industry association Water UK warned that current data centers in the UK consume 6.6
million liters of water per day (equivalent to the water usage of 20,000 households). If the scale triples, an additional water supply for 40,000 households would be needed. During hot summer days, peak water usage can reach 14 million liters per day. Based on this estimate, by 2030, 42 million liters of water would need to be supplied daily. Water UK criticized the government for planning based on the assumption of a 'future decrease in water demand,' without considering the impact of the rapid growth of data centers in the AI era.
