Activist group UEMAS alleges that the rapid growth of data centers in Querétaro is worsening the region’s water crisis. They argue this expansion isn’t a sign of modernization, but rather a new form of resource extraction. The collective criticizes the substantial water demands of these facilities, contributing to existing water stress. This development is raising concerns about sustainability and equitable access to water resources within the state. UEMAS contends the data centers prioritize private profit over community needs, exacerbating existing inequalities. No further details were provided regarding specific water usage figures or proposed solutions. The group’s accusations highlight a growing debate surrounding the environmental impact of the tech industry’s expansion in Mexico.
