Friends! I can finally show some money work! ✨
I did a bunch of illustration and layout work earlier this year for the GDP, this one was about water use in the production of everyday objects and food:

Well, well, well, under the guise of introducing a national 'social tariff' for water, it looks like a cross subsidy from the wetter North to the drier South of England may be envisaged.
To help Southern water firms invest in the infrastructure they need to ameliorate drought conditions the social tariff would see funds raised in the North applied to project in the South.
This looks like yet more regional exploitation (from here in the North)!

There is a movement to "prove that the datacenter water issues is fake". If you venture into Muskrat's hell site, you can see the community note these people put on this great piece of investigative journalism, accusing them of unfairly implicating datacenters.

Stellar #investigative #journalism from RollingStone on the #environmental & human cost of mega #datacentres.
"It never occurred to Doherty that his effort to fix the #water problem would provoke the ire of a group of local officials who resented scrutiny of their role in the #pollution. That it would end his political career, tank his cattle sales, and cause him so much stress he’d lose 50 pounds".
The changes to the Water Act are flying under the radar because of everything else that is happening in Alberta.
But it is very bad legislation and it's being done for some nefarious purpose, I'm sure. Especially since the changes are supported by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
And, of course there are data centres planned for all over the province.
“Bill 7 is not a technical amendment; it is a fundamental shift in how water is controlled, allocated, and transferred in Alberta. By advancing this legislation without First Nation involvement, Alberta is eroding the Treaty relationship and failing to uphold its legal and moral obligations,” says Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi.

Water is under threat in Oregon due to pollution levels, and massive data centers are in the crosshairs
A local commissioner uncovered extreme nitrate levels in Morrow County wells as the data center boom drives up consumption and pollution of the aquifer.
RE: https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern/115616138817977972
“Servers need to be kept between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius to function properly, and in Morrow County they are cooled with water drawn from the same aquifer used by local residents. That water is already loaded with nitrates; as it passes through the cooling systems, some of the liquid evaporates, but the compounds remain and become concentrated. The return water is then mixed with industrial wastewater in the giant lagoons at the Port of Morrow and sprayed onto fields as liquid fertilizer, even in winter when there are no crops to absorbit. The result, acording to hydrologists quoted by Rolling Stone, is an accelerated "washing" of nitrates into the subsoil: the more it is irrigated, the faster the aquifer is poisoned.”
