As a federal agency, the NSA can often seem above local concerns like water management — but a new campaign in Utah wants to change that, according to a report in Talking Points Memo. The campaign comes from an advocacy group called the Tenth Amendment Center, which is currently organizing a number of coordinated actions aimed at making the NSAs life as difficult as possible. This one springs from a realization that the NSAs massive and much-delayed Utah data center relies on the local government for basic utilities like electricity and, more importantly, water. If the local municipality votes not to provide the data center with the 1.7 million gallons of water it needs to cool its massive server farm, the NSA coud be left in a very uncomfortable spot.
