尽管承诺进行可持续的管理,但内华达干旱地区一个大型人工智能数据中心引发了对用水的担忧。 A massive AI data center in drought-stricken Nevada sparks concern over water use, despite promises of sustainable management.

内华达州里诺(Reno)附近正在兴建大型数据中心校园, A large data center campus is under construction near Reno, Nevada, to support AI infrastructure, despite the state being the nation’s driest. 该设施每年将使用数十亿加仑的水进行冷却,这在易受干旱影响地区引起了关注。 The facility will use billions of gallons of water annually for cooling, raising concerns in a drought-prone region. 地方官员和开发商说,目前的供水和管理战略,包括再生水和高效冷却,现在可以满足需求,但是,在数字基础设施需求不断增长和气候不确定的情况下,长期可持续性仍然是一个令人关切的问题。 Local officials and developers say current water supplies and management strategies, including recycled water and efficient cooling, can meet demand for now, but long-term sustainability remains a concern amid growing digital infrastructure needs and climate uncertainty.
