Event Details
Join Nature Forward and AI expert Masheika Allgood for a timely webinar on how data centers affect the health of our local water systems. While data center conversations have focused on the staggering amounts of water that go into the facilities, there hasn’t been a study on how the water that is discharged from these facilities impacts overall water system health—until now. Ms. Allgood will share findings from her case study research in Atlanta, GA, revealing what pollutants show up in wastewater discharged from data centers and what those results mean for surrounding communities. You’ll learn practical ways to advocate for stronger protections for our water and the people who rely on it.
Join us virtually on Tuesday, August 25 at 7pm (4pm PST) via ZOOM.
