Reports state that Google plans to invest approximately 0.2 billion US dollars (equivalent to 1.4 billion yuan) in the suburbs of the capital city, Santiago, to build the largest datacenter in Latin America. However, the operation of this project requires a large amount of water resources. This is because the heat generated by the billions of transistors in the datacenter's high-frequency processor circuits needs cooling system dissipation. The report mentions that the cooling system in the center consumes 7 billion liters of water annually, equivalent to the annual water consumption of about 0.08 million residents in the suburbs of Santiago. In September, Google announced a new cooling mode for its datacenter in Chile, aiming to reduce water usage by employing a more expensive air cooling technology.
