Water rights application filed for Box Elder County data center; project details emerge
A new water rights application has been filed for the controversial Box Elder County data center project in Utah. This application, for 11 acre-feet of water from Hansel Valley, follows an earlier, much larger application that was withdrawn. Opponents have filed protests, citing concerns about water depletion and the impact on the Great Salt Lake, despite proponents highlighting the project's national defense importance and a closed-loop water system.
