A state agency in Texas has been seeking information on water usage from data centers. These facilities use water to cool their computer servers, and the agency aims to determine the amount of water used. Less than a third of the data centers responded to the agency's survey.

This limited response has hindered the agency's efforts to gather comprehensive data on water usage. For more information on this issue, readers can refer to the source, Houston Public Media, which has reported on the state agency's survey and the response from data centers.
