Data centers and water
Data Center Water Use in Reeves County, TX
Reeves County, Texas has 8 mapped data center facilities.
Water pressure for new demandHow hard a large new water user, like a data center, would press on this county's water. It blends recent drinking-water compliance, drought, and existing industrial demand. Higher pressure means new demand competes harder with current uses. It is not a judgment about whether one should be built.
Low water pressure
Reeves County has no health violations in the last 5 years, moderate drought, low existing industrial water demand.

Supply versus demand
How much water do Reeves County data centers use?
Exact facility water draw is rarely public. As a screening proxy we compare the Clean Water Act permitted discharge mapped to these facilities against the county's entire industrial water baseline from the USGS 2020 series.
Reeves County has no reported industrial water baseline in the USGS 2020 series, so a supply-versus-demand ratio cannot be drawn here.
Model a build
Can Reeves County support more data centers?
On the water-pressure scale, Reeves County sits at 25, below the national median, so new large-load demand has more slack here than in most counties. Size a hypothetical build to see the daily draw against the county industrial baseline.

Reeves County is one of 330 US counties with mapped data centers. See the full ranking and the interactive map in the national atlas.
Facility data combines EPA ECHO, EPA Clean Water Act permits, OpenStreetMap, and the IM3 Open Source Data Center Atlas (DOE/PNNL), geocoded to county FIPS. Capacity and water baselines come from IM3 and USGS 2020 water-use data. These are county-level screening figures, not a facility-level water-use audit. Read the full methodology.
