Define Large-Quantity Water Users
Large-quantity water users should be defined as those whose water use equals or exceeds 10,000 centum cubic feet (ccf), equivalent to 7,480,000 gallons per month.
To give a Benchmark:
Project Blue, an Amazon hyperscaler data center in Tucson, Arizona, publicly projected they would use an average of 283 million gallons of water per year. (This equates to approximately 23 million gallons, or 31,000 ccf, per month.) This calculation suggests that 10,000 ccf per month would capture hyperscaler data centers.
