西南俄亥俄州的一项研究对扩大数据中心带来的供水风险进行了评估,结果将于2026年11月公布。 A study in Southwest Ohio assesses water supply risks from expanding data centers, with results due by November 2026.

西南俄亥俄州正在进行一项区域研究,以便在人们日益关切大规模发展的同时评估未来水的供应情况,特别是可以消费相当于50 000个城市的水的AI数据中心。 A regional study is underway in Southwest Ohio to assess future water availability amid growing concerns over large-scale developments, particularly AI data centers that could consume water equivalent to a city of 50,000. 该研究由俄亥俄州、肯塔基州和印第安纳州政府理事会和CDM Smith牵头,利用国家机构的数据评价地下水、地表水,并将废水作为潜在来源处理。 Led by the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana Regional Council of Governments and CDM Smith, the study uses data from state agencies to evaluate groundwater, surface water, and treated wastewater as potential sources. 虽然尚未提出这一规模的主要数据中心,但俄亥俄州在数据中心集中程度方面名列全国第五,有几个项目正在进行中,包括预计2029年在特伦顿建造的880 000平方英尺设施。 Though no major data center of that scale has been proposed yet, Ohio ranks fifth nationally in data center concentration, with several projects under way, including an 880,000-square-foot facility in Trenton expected by 2029. 调查结果应于2026年11月提交,将有助于地方政府平衡增长与可持续用水。 The findings, due by November 2026, will help local governments balance growth with sustainable water use.
