Power-plant water may come from a different watershed. This is a volume comparison, not a claim that households lose this water.

At current operating capacity · Annual model spread evenly over time, not a live meter. Site estimates may differ by roughly ±40%.

Comparison sizes & sources

One pool = 50 × 25 × 2 metres = 2.5 million litres (about 660,430 US gallons). Pool depths vary; this is a defined comparison size.

One home-year = 10,791 kWh, the EIA’s 2022 average US residential electricity purchases. This excludes electricity generated at home and is a fixed US benchmark for all sites.

One car-year = 4.6 tonnes CO₂, the EPA’s typical passenger vehicle tailpipe estimate. The campus model is in CO₂e; the comparison expresses approximate climate scale, not equal mixtures of pollutants.

Monthly values are annual totals ÷ 12; daily values are annual totals ÷ 365. Actual demand varies. Comparisons cover the whole campus, including non-AI uses.

Water: see the numbers and sources

This is water used up, mainly through evaporation. Power-generation water may be used in a different watershed.

Total water use1,637M gal/yr

Evaporated on site1,081M gal

Making the power555M gal

Household comparison20,457homes, at 80,000 gal/year

Pressure on local water: Low-Medium — a regional measure of demand compared with available water
Where the water comes from: Municipal potable supply
Cooling: Evaporative cooling towers on industrial-park supply
Basis: Fitted to a published figure of 1,081 million gallons a year (2025)
Operator table: Withdrew 1,397 million gallons, discharged 315, consumed 1,081
Claimed vs observed: Google 2026 Environmental Report (FY2025): withdrew 1,396.7 million gallons, discharged 315.3, consumed 1,081.4 — second only to Council Bluffs in Google's US fleet.

Air: see the numbers and sources

The totals include nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and fine particles. They cover both this site and the power plants supplying it.

Nitrogen oxides601t/yr

Sulphur dioxide1,081t/yr

Fine particulates99.1t PM2.5

Health (EPA)$104M/yr

Health range: $36.7–104 million a year. Lower bound is EASIUR national mid-range; upper is EPA benefit-per-ton at a ~$12M VSL.
Statistical deaths: 8.69 a year at that VSL — a national-average conversion from tons, not a local concentration study.
Equals: 750,743 cars of NOx
Where it burns: SPP — Kansas / Oklahoma
Generation mix: Wind 45 · Gas 26 · Coal 22
Diesel backup: No on-site prime generation reported. Generator permits were not retrieved.
CO₂e: 976 kt/yr — climate, not air quality

The project, approvals and community concerns

Who asked for it: Google — self-build; Epoch AI models TPU v5p and v5e at this campus
Who approved it: MidAmerica Industrial Park / Oklahoma Ordnance Works Authority; Grand River Dam Authority supply plus Google PPAs on adjacent Mayes County solar
What it serves: Google Cloud, Search, and TPU training
IT capacity: 370 MW current capacity / 700 MW full-build scenario

Google's second-thirstiest campus: 1.08 billion gallons consumed in 2025, on a wind-and-gas SPP grid. Opened in 2011 as Google's second dedicated US hall and has been expanding ever since; a $9 billion Oklahoma package in 2025 covers more Pryor capacity plus Stillwater.
