Where has all the water gone? It is shifting the Earth's access by 31.5 inches per year. Yet another inflection point issue between humanity and technology as well as the discussed polar shift

An interesting article describes the issue, even if its corollary conclusions though are debateable. Human Activities Have Shifted Earth’s Axis by 31.5 Inches: A Wake-Up Call for Sustainable Water Management - ASTRONOMY LOVERS Think intensive agriculture, heavy industries and datacentres which are amongst the heaviest users of water for industrial irrigation, processing material and for cooling. https://eng.ox.ac.uk/…/the-true-cost-of-water-guzzling…/ But no doubt the issue will be blamed on man made climate change while ignoring China and India as the major CO2 creators. While agriculture has been a water consumer on the largest scale, datacentres are exponentially being built contributing to water removal https://utulsa.edu/…/data-centers-draining-resources…/ and use and if you are a a believer in CO2 being a problem, they are becoming the greatest contributors to that. It is estimated that when datacentres become AI , globally they will be using 1.7trillion gallons of water annually. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8gy7lv448o. If economic prioritisation for water resource use, then surely food and availability for humanity must be the priority over technology. Unless of course there is a eugenic agenda and priory involved in the background.

Great find, @MarkSean; a new narrative is being loosed it seems.

“ Traditionally, changes in the planet’s tilt have been attributed to natural phenomena such as glacial melting and tectonic movements. However, recent studies have highlighted a new and concerning contributor: human-induced groundwater depletion” (emphasis mine).

Thanks Sharick. Food and Water - from the base of the pyramid of human needs.
