See where water will be needed.

Demand is a starting point.

A bright area shows a concentration of projected water use. Switch to supply shortfall to explore needs before new water strategies. Neither view represents a buyer’s request or a listing.

Where are data centers?

The underlying TWDB workbook has six water-use categories and no separate data-center series. A standalone county forecast is not available in this view.

Data centers can use water directly for cooling and indirectly through electricity generation. Adding a separate estimate to existing totals could double-count water use. Technology and power sources matter.

Location is only the beginning.

Timing, water quality, rights, infrastructure and delivered cost determine whether a potential resource can serve a particular need. The outlook helps frame that conversation.
