Steam vents from one of Google's data centers in The Dalles. Google's local water consumption jumped 26% last year and city forecasts indicate it will continue climbing rapidly.

Google’s data centers gulped down nearly 550 million gallons of water in The Dalles in 2025. That’s nearly 40% of all the water consumed in the entire city and a huge jump from the year before.
