watch the water

 

2023 study by researchers from the University of California, Riverside, and others estimated that 5โ€“50 ChatGPT queries (using GPT-3) consume about 500 mL of water, including indirect usage like cooling for power plants. Scaling this to 100 queries, assuming a midpoint of 25 queries per 500 mL, suggests 2 liters for 100 queries. For GPT-4, a 2024 study reported that generating a 100-word response consumes about 519 mL. If 100 queries each produce a 100-word response, this could mean 51.9 liters for 100 queries.

Closed-loop systems: Studies and industry reports suggest that closed-loop cooling systems lose 10โ€“30% of water due to evaporation and blowdown. For example, a 2023 report on data center water usage estimated that evaporative cooling towers lose about 1โ€“2% of circulated water per cycle, with blowdown accounting for another 0.5โ€“1%. Over time, this can add up to 20โ€“30% of total water not being recirculated.

Water Usage for Metaโ€™s Hyperion Data Center (Louisiana)

 

Water Consumption: The Hyperion data center, designed to support AI workloads, is expected to be a massive facility with a power capacity of up to 5 gigawatts. According to reports, large AI-focused data centers like Hyperion can consume millions of gallons of water per day for cooling. For context, typical data centers use around 500,000 gallons daily, but hyperscale AI facilities could require up to 6 million gallons per day, as noted in a 2025 Engadget article citing water permit applications in similar projects.

Cooling Systems and Recirculation: Meta has transitioned to advanced cooling methods, such as Air-Assisted Liquid Cooling, which uses water for direct-to-chip cooling at a supply temperature of 30ยฐC. Metaโ€™s sustainability data indicates a Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) of 0.20 liters per kilowatt-hour (L/kWh), significantly better than the industry average of 1.8 L/kWh. This suggests efforts to optimize water use, likely involving closed-loop systems where 70โ€“90% of water is recirculated, with losses of 10โ€“30% due to evaporation and blowdown (purging to manage water quality), as discussed in general data center practices.

Water Loss: Assuming Hyperion uses 6 million gallons daily (22.7 million liters), with a 20% loss rate (typical for closed-loop systems), approximately 1.2 million gallons (4.54 million liters) could be lost daily to evaporation or blowdown. The remaining water would be recirculated or discharged as wastewater, potentially treated for reuse depending on local infrastructure.
