Entrepreneurs are warning the rapid expansion of data centre investment could deepen water scarcity, even as they acknowledge its potential to drive business growth, according to the latest poll conducted by the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
Of the 160 FTI executives surveyed, 68.8% cited insufficient water supply as their top concern amid the rapid rise in data centres, said Montri Mahaplerkpong, deputy chairman of the FTI.
