    In the article, this isn’t about pollution but sediment from very nearby construction. Yeah, that happens. Kind of why most decent municipal governments plan out stuff so you don’t have people on wells right next to giant buildings. The common exception being gravel quarries, they do regularly disrupt locals wells. This is on them. You should be building data centres in light industrial zones where everyone nearby is on city water.

      The article is also claiming humid areas are good for evaporative cooling, which is incorrect.

      Also that above ground runoff is affecting a well is hard to believe. Wells are deep enough that natural filtration removes any sediment.

      The whole article is questionable.
