Utah became the first state to require large data centers to disclose water use. Researchers at GWC found that more states are considering reporting requirements, conservation measures and other policies to address data centers’ growing water demands.

The GWC worked with CU CADSWES to host two visiting researchers from Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin, often thought of as a “sister basin” to the Colorado River. Marti Beeston from One Basin CRC & Michael Scobie from the @unisqaus.
ALT David Neumann (CADSWES), Mike Scobie, Marti Beeston, and Brad Udall (Colorado State University).
ALT Mike Scobie presents while Balaji Rajagopalan (CU Engineering) and Edie Zagona (CADSWES), left, and Joe Kasprzyk (CU Engineering), right, study the water distribution system shown in the Northern Basin of the Murray-Darling.
We almost always focus on Lakes Powell & Mead, but there are 46 reservoirs in the CO River Basin. This paper looks at the state & trends of total Basin storage & the “Ratchet Effect” when we consistently use more water than Nature supplies.
