Doesn't chip making a lot of water, most of it in Arizona is fed by Lake Mead?

The same reservoir that is at 30% capacity, with acute water shortages and with 4 years of increased precipitation necessary for an adequate refill.

We are adding a chip making facility which needs a lot of water here?

This sounds like a recipe for disaster whenever there is a period of water stress which appears to be occurring in that region significantly more frequently.

The more I think about it, the more US infra/urban planning makes absolutely 0 sense to me. Seems to more closely follow tax breaks and tax income than necessarily smart resource allocation.
