In 2023, unprecedented heatwaves, prolonged droughts, and erratic rainfall patterns resulted in the most severe year of water depletion in three decades, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports. This alarming phenomenon is a direct consequence of climate change, worsened by unsustainable human activities, raising the spectre of widespread water scarcity.A Crisis Accelerating: Rivers Drying at Record Rates"The world’s rivers, crucial lifelines for billions of people, have shown alarming signs of depletion, with some drying up completely. The WMO’s recent State of the Global Climate report revealed that rivers in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia experienced their lowest levels since the early 1990s. Rivers like the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Yangtze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Yangtze</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmazonRiver</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Danube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Danube</a> can no longer support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystems</a> and communities that depend on them for agriculture, drinking water, and transport."The impact of climate change, marked by rising global temperatures, has played a significant role in this crisis. The warming of the Earth’s surface increases the evaporation rate from rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, intensifying water loss. Regions already prone to droughts, such as the Middle East, parts of Africa, and southern Europe, face even more severe shortages due to intensified drought cycles. In 2023 alone, the Danube, Europe’s second-longest river, saw record-low water levels, which crippled shipping routes and threatened agricultural output in countries like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hungary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hungary</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Romania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Romania</a>. "This drying trend is not limited to one region. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColoradoRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColoradoRiver</a> continues to shrink in the United States, causing severe <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterShortages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterShortages</a> for millions in states like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nevada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nevada</a>. Similar trends have been observed in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndusRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndusRiver</a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthAsia</a>, which supports millions of people in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pakistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pakistan</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a>. These drying rivers are a wake-up call for the global community to address water conservation and management issues before irreversible damage occurs."Read more: <a href="https://climatefactchecks.org/water-scarcity-on-the-rise-rivers-drying-at-record-rates/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://climatefactchecks.org/water-scarcity-on-the-rise-rivers-drying-at-record-rates/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a>

dana hilliotPour celles et ceux que ça intéressent, les incendies en Californie cette semaine m'ont rappelé les remarques d'Elisabeth Anker dans son excellent livre, Ugly Freedom, sur l'accaparement de l'eau et les justifications de cet accaparement par les résidents (richissimes) de Rancho Santa Fe.On lira un long passage traduit ici :<a href="https://outsiderland.com/danahilliot/nous-sommes-tous-des-rancho-santa-fe-les-ugly-freedoms-delisabeth-anker/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://outsiderland.com/danahilliot/nous-sommes-tous-des-rancho-santa-fe-les-ugly-freedoms-delisabeth-anker/</a>Et un extrait ci-dessous :"Les habitants de Rancho Santa Fe peuvent sembler excessivement égoïstes, motivés uniquement par l’irresponsabilité et la cupidité, mais l’enjeu est bien plus important que la psychologie personnelle. L’accent mis sur la psychologie occulte la vision du monde plus large et partagée qui influence leurs actions. Une histoire de liberté populaire et largement appréciée sous-tend toutes leurs revendications et leur confère une lisibilité politique. Pour les habitants de Rancho Santa Fe, l’utilisation de l’eau est une forme de liberté qui implique le choix individuel de consommer des ressources naturelles que l’on paie. La liberté consiste à extraire des biens précieux du patrimoine commun sans se soucier des autres ; c’est la capacité de payer, et non le bien collectif, qui détermine la liberté d’action. Dans cette version de la liberté, les frontières territoriales délimitent la pratique de la liberté : les frontières souveraines, à la fois du soi et de la propriété – des espaces privés et autodéterminés sur lesquels on a autorité – fixent la limite de la liberté. La liberté est enfermée dans un moi individuel et une propriété personnelle, barricadée contre les autres dans une affirmation de séparation. La responsabilité s’étend aux quatre acres de la propriété privée, mais pas au-delà, qui semble séparable des lacs bas et des collines desséchées immédiatement adjacents."<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WaterScarcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterScarcity</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Californie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Californie</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"One of the reasons that datacenter operators have gravitated toward evaporative coolers is because they're so cheap to operate compared to alternative technologies."It is always of a higher coefficient of performance (COP), meaning less energy required, to evaporate water, regardless of what cooling medium is being utilized," Shelnutt said.In fact, COP, which refers to the amount of heat removed for a given amount of power, for evaporative cooling comes in at 1,230 while dry coolers and chillers manage a COP of about 12 and 4, respectively, he explained.In terms of energy consumption, this makes an evaporatively cooled datacenter far more energy efficient than one that doesn't consume water, and that translates to a lower operating cost.The challenge is that not every location and climate is well suited to evaporative cooling. In hotter climates where water is either scarce or places with high humidity where evaporative coolers are ineffective, chillers, which function similar to your AC unit, may be used instead."<a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/04/how_datacenters_use_water/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/04/how_datacenters_use_water/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataCenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataCenters</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Water</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WaterScarcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterScarcity</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Energy</a>
