Re: “La Nina forecast not so cut and dry” (Page A1, Oct. 10).
On Page 1 of the Mercury News was an article about La Niña, stating that we do not know if it will have very little effect on our water supply or if it will cause a drought. On Page 6 was an opinion column about the number of data centers in the area and the water that they use (“AI data centers must disclose how much water they require“).

This made me ponder: If we have a drought, and we again have a period of mandatory water use reduction, will the data centers also be required to reduce their water usage? Or will those companies, mainly owned and run by very rich people, be exempt, forcing the rest of us to reduce more?
