Where Africa Data Centres' data centers stand
- Water stress index · median of 7 data centers (few: one site can move it)
- 71/100 · above average
- Social friction index · median of 7 data centers (few: one site can move it)
- 63/100 · above average
Both indices describe the places where the sites stand, not how Africa Data Centres operates them: a higher water score means scarcer water around the sites, a higher friction score more of the conditions that tend to come before local opposition. Methods: water stress index · social friction index.
