Let's turn wine into water 🌊💧

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Every data center is a water decision. Communities running dry so a chatbot can write someone's email. What a time.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Tech giants are building huge AI data centres right across America. They are hoovering up vital energy and water supplies and leaving many communities without basic essential natural resources. More and more local communities are campaigning against this.

@CapoDiTuttiPapi That blue blob IS the AMOC weakening. You posted the evidence yourself.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Desal is only as green as the power behind it. Abu Dhabi's 60% clean energy target by 2035? That's how you close the sustainability loop, folks.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Storms flat. Deaths down 95%. Infrastructure. What a concept.

@watersagemd Decreasing severe weather events also saves lives.

[UAE Water Aid Foundation @SuqiaUAE]

Clean water does more than sustain people. It helps restore the environments around them. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, your contribution can help bring life back to communities.

[Nas News Emirates @nasnews_e]

Dr. Abdulla Humaid Saif Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE), affirmed that environmental sustainability has become a core pillar of the emirate's comprehensive development. As part of this vision, Abu Dhabi aims to generate 60% of its electricity from clean and renewable energy sources by 2035. Achieving this goal will require an integrated approach focused on advancing resource efficiency, integrating cutting-edge tech solutions, and modernizing water and energy infrastructure to safeguard natural resources for future generations.

@CanadianS9605 Hard to drink awareness during a drought.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Your own infographic says infrastructure and preparedness save lives. So... we agree then. Cool.

[John Shewchuk @_ClimateCraze]

The U.N. uses dogma to create a fake climate crisis. Scientists use data to create graphs which show there is no climate crisis, while extreme weather decreases.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

@atrembath 'Degrowth.' Fewer desal plants, less infrastructure investment, more people without clean water. What a fun.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Patience is easy when it's not your water tower disappearing.

[John Shewchuk @_ClimateCraze]

Geoffrey still has much to learn to about the basics of long understood physics -- ice melts when warmed. This is expected to continue until at least the Eddy solar cycle completes its warming phase. Some folks can be so impatient.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Double soil organic content, double water retention. Soil IS water infrastructure. Save Soil isn't environmentalism-it's my department.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

@robinmonotti @_ClimateCraze Nature has cycles. So do water demand projections. Only one pays my bills.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Spend one day running crisis comms during a water emergency and tell me infrastructure anxiety isn't real. What a fun.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

UK putting 84% of AI data centres in future drought zones. 40% of their energy just cools servers. You secure water first, then build. Not the other way around, folks.

[Pulse of Africa - English @poaenglish]

Nigeria and UAE have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation in water supply, sanitation and irrigated agriculture to enhance food security and sustainable development.

@arabtimesnews Water security AND clean energy in the same sentence? Finally someone's paying attention to the water-energy nexus.

[Brown Land @brownlandnews]

Brown Land | Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates have renewed their commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation in the water, sanitation, and irrigation sectors, supporting efforts to enhance food security and promote sustainable development in Nigeria.

Cooling servers with drinking water in projected drought zones. What could go wrong.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

AI data centres: The monstrosities that guzzle energy and water supply:

▪️84% of proposed UK AI data centres are planned in areas that are projected to be water stressed by 2040. 

▪️If AI data centres electricity use doubles as projected by 2030, the associated carbon footprint would require 6.7 billion trees grown over ten years to offset this demand.

▪️Data centres would also require 9.3 trillion litres of water and land nearly ten times the size of Mexico City.

As global energy and water supplies are already under strain and with fragile water ecosystems worldwide, can there really be any justification for governments to facilitate tech giants and their plundering of energy and water?

And while the AI centres guzzle water and energy, we will be told by the government to switch off our lights and switch off the hosepipes due to supply shortages.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

@ChEnected @UofR No toxic brine AND lithium recovery? Now that's thinking. Zero liquid brine has been desal's Achilles heel for decades. Scaling's the real question.

[Hydro Homie @watersagemd]

Too expensive compared to what exactly? DPR isn't cheap either and public acceptance is its own mess. Both belong in the portfolio.

[Water Mark 🚰 @OtayMark]

One thing we don't need is more desalination plants dotting the California coast, as far too expensive! Better doing direct potable reuse!

Arizona and Nevada Agree to Trade for Desalinated Pacific Ocean Water in deal with @SDCWA
