💧🤝 The Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Project is a major water diversion project built by Guangdong to supply fresh water to Hong Kong.
For decades, it has helped support Hong Kong's water security, prosperity and stability, highlighting the close cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong.

💧🌿 Located in Nansha, Guangzhou, Gaoxinsha Reservoir is currently the largest reservoir in Nansha.
With its distinctive triangular shape, the reservoir plays an important role in transporting large volumes of water over long distances across the region. 🌊

‘Water quadrupled. Labor nearly doubled’
If you like strawberries, this major source is shutting down. They can't afford to farm in CA anymore. Hundreds of people will be unemployed. Strawberries will not be grown, driving up the cost.
‘Water quadrupled. Labor nearly doubled’ ... and that is why that major farming operation is closing.
The tragedy is that solutions to the manmade water shortage exist, but they aren't being applied because they don't fit ongoing policy.
Problem-solving is not happening, despite the state budget increasing by as much as 70% since COVID while remaining deep in the red. We just pay more to live here ... which is why so many businesses and taxpayers have fled the state, which will result in taxes going up again because there are fewer taxpayers to support all the unemployed and the large population in poverty. CA has the highest taxes, gas prices, electricity prices, and housing, and accounts for 13 of the 25 most expensive water systems in the country.
Why? It didn't used to be like this. CA used to thrive economically and used to be a destination state. The California Dream no longer exists. What changed? We have too many policies and regulations that are not advantageous to the population or to business. We need better balance.
CA is on a downward spiral that is being blamed on everyone except those who are not fixing the numerous crises they created by not considering consequences. Blaming others is easier, even when not justifiable. Realistic plans to solve problems are the actual solution.
Just fixing the manmade water shortage would at least provide local water supply to be able to support building more homes and support businesses that rely on water for things like manufacturing or growing our food. Currently, any business relying on water is struggling. And we still have millions of people needing safe drinking water.
If the CA residents don't push loud and hard for changes, our Governor-elect will very likely continue the same unsustainable policies. And we will lose more than large strawberry farms while our living costs continue to increase, more farms are lost, and more businesses and taxpayers flee the state.
Why are we allowing this increasing unaffordability to continue when solutions are available that benefit all water users?
State water planners don’t use climate projections when they plan for Texas' future water supply.
Experts say they should model for more extreme droughts rather than relying on historical data.

🚨 BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION IN DATA CENTER PUSHBACK:
Water. Closed-loop systems + dry coolers recirculate the same fluid. Heat is rejected without using towers that draw millions of gallons. There is very little use on municipal water supply.
$WYFI is definitely one of the most responsible data center developers. The sites are also former industrial plants with electrical infrastructure already in place.
BREAKING: Israel just blew up the public water reservoir in Mansouri, South Lebanon — cutting off the town’s water supply.
Not a military target.
A water reservoir.
Essential civilian infrastructure.
This is a war crime.
This is an act of genocide.
SpaceXAI is investing in a massive water recycling system in Memphis 💧
The state-of-the-art facility is designed to recycle up to 13 MILLION gallons of wastewater every day
That means roughly 4.745 BILLION gallons of Memphis Aquifer water protected every year....while eliminating the need for SpaceXAI’s facility to draw from the aquifer for industrial use
And the impact goes even beyond
The recycled water is also planned to serve other major industrial users in the area, further reducing pressure on Memphis’ water supply
This is how you scale massive AI infrastructure more responsibly
Build more capacity → recycle resources → reduce pressure on the infrastructure people already depend on
SpaceXAI is scaling AI infrastructure at an enormous pace while investing billions of gallons back into the resource equation instead of simply taking more from it
