flag A study in Southwest Ohio assesses water supply risks from expanding data centers, with results due by November 2026.

flag 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. flag 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. flag 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. flag The findings, due by November 2026, will help local governments balance growth with sustainable water use.
