Activists, children march with banners reading 'We cannot drink DATA' in VisakhapatnamA truck at the construction site of the Google-Adani data centre in Tarluvada, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. But the growing opposition could become an early test for Google's biggest-ever India investment, which is facing several legal challenges over its impact on water ​supplies and proximity to a wildlife sanctuary that is home to leopards and pangolins. Rationing of water supplies is common in the city with a population of 2.5 million people. Rapid data centre buildouts are facing pushback around the world for using huge quantities of water to cool servers and electricity. During the Sunday event, Green Visakha said it was concerned about the government’s promise of "guaranteed" water supplies for ​20 years to the project as the city already faces shortages.
