Hi r/Virgina! I'm a student journalist writing a story about the conflict between data centers and neighboring communities they're moving into, specifically around water consumption.

I'm looking to speak with anyone who has:

• Been approached by a developer to buy or lease land for a data center
• Experienced water supply problems near an existing data center
• Worked inside a data center and can speak to how cooling/water systems actually operate
• Organized against (or in favor of) a data center proposal in their community

You can comment here, DM me, or reach me at david.pinto@columbia.edu

Thanks in advance!
