Project Jupiter will need nearly 1 million gallons of water a day — where will it come from?$

Project Jupiter, a hyperscale data center in Southern New Mexico, faces scrutiny over its estimated daily water consumption of nearly 1.1 million gallons, primarily for its natural-gas-powered microgrids. While some water will come from a local utility, the majority is to be acquired from Santa Teresa Capital LLC, leading to protests and a scheduled hearing over an emergency well drilling request. The project aims to reallocate existing water rights to support its operations.
