Estimate ~2.2 billion gallons per year used in Iowa for cooling data centers.
Expected to more than double in near future (data centers currently planned in Van Meter, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Council Bluffs...), as long as we continue to use our phones, laptops, watches, socials, smart tvs, etc.
Most will be liquid cooled and use municipal water for supply.
Data Center needs:
