A study proposes using salty, polluted water to cool the data centers that power AI.

A recent study proposes utilizing salt water and contaminated water to cool the data centers that power artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and real-time processing. These facilities consume massive amounts of energy, generating substantial residual heat that must be systematically eliminated to prevent equipment failure.

In a separate domestic context, guidance has also been issued regarding the safety of pouring boiling water down household drains, noting that the safety of the practice depends primarily on pipe materials and execution methods.
