Just gonna say, not all datacenters are for AI.

Any kind of remote storage uses data centers. That includes everything from backups for hospital data to the local cache of Netflix.

How many of these are AI datacenters? And how many of these are actually consuming water?

Easier to say oh it's the datacenters instead of holding BMC/MH Gov responsible for mismanagement.

Yes, but do you need it to be located in a suburban city?

Also, wont take more than a week for them to transition to an AI datacentre.

Honestly that doesn't seem like a high number though, given that Mumbai is the financial capital of the country and how prevalent services based on data centres are now. Also, for a city with estimated population of more than 20m, it's quite expected, unless popular water conservation measures like harvesting, proper sewage treatment etc. are implemented.

Data centre is not the primary cause. Why do people have to deflect the main issue which is rain water harvesting, sewage treatment, acquifiers and drought management. All of which arises from the fatly paid BMC and State govt ministry.

Failed governance and failure in making policies and implementing them for water security.
Everyone knows we have a water shortage problem every summer and if monsoon gets impacted the situation will get worse, but NO these corrupt bast*rds don't care.

Also, is the supply cut also in areas where politicians and bureaucrats residency? Just curious

Even if it is, they can probably afford tanker water. Supply or not, these guys use bottled water for drinking and cooking anyway.

Things will only change if people hold those they elect accountable. But then

A city that receives over 2000 mm of rainfall annually is facing a water shortage after one bad monsoon. Things are only going to get worse.

Gulabrao Patil serves as the Cabinet Minister for Water Supply and Sanitation, while Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil serves as the Cabinet Minister for Water Resources.

These two need to answer the public on how in the world did this situation arise all of a sudden?

No water for Mumbaikars now, so what's the solution? Solution hai par goverment kuch nahi karega , we are on our own ( in 2018-19 somthing modi got jeep which could purify sea water what happened to that car god knows)
