The push for data center chip manufactures in areas with high water and energy availability alarms many communities. Understanding how water is used in this industry and what measures are available to minimize the negative impacts to help communities make sound decisions.
The riparian doctrine is the basis of water rights and regulations east of the Mississippi. This overview of riparian rights and how it's affecting the development of water policy in the region is fundamental for future decisions in our states.
Speakers: Dr. Keith Cherkauer, Purdue ABE/ Indiana Water Resource Center and Laura Campbell, Michigan Farm Bureau
