U.S. technology firms are building data centers in drought-stricken Spanish regions, concentrating capital investment in Europe's cloud and AI infrastructure at the cost of local water stress and land-use disruption. The projects signal how tech giants are distributing compute capacity across geographies to serve European demand, driving up regional power consumption and reshaping real estate markets in water-scarce areas. Spain's drought conditions create friction between data center expansion and agricultural and municipal water needs, forcing trade-offs between economic development and environmental sustainability that will shape European infrastructure policy.
