About this audiobook
Data Centers—The Water Behind the Cloud* reveals the physical reality behind AI and the digital world. Every search, stream, AI prompt, and online service depends on buildings, electricity, cooling systems, freshwater, wastewater infrastructure, land, and the communities that host them.
As data centers grow, urgent questions follow: Where will the water come from? What happens during droughts and heat waves? Can the electric grid handle the demand? Who pays for new infrastructure and public services?
McCormick connects data-center growth to water use, cooling technology, climate change, energy demand, public health, and community accountability. This practical guide explores water conservation, reclaimed water, responsible site selection, drought planning, transparency, and enforceable protections.
This is a call for AI infrastructure that protects clean water, reliable energy, healthy communities, and our shared future.
