LouisianAI does not publish a generic gallons-per-query figure for AI. Water use is a permit-by-permit question. The only sourced Louisiana campus volumes today are Meta Hyperion's reported 1.5 million gallon/day baseline and 23 million gallon/day peak allowance.
Search interest for "how much water does AI use" often wants one gallons-per-prompt figure. LouisianAI does not invent that number. Cooling design, water source, discharge path, and permit limits differ by campus, and most Louisiana projects have not published a daily-gallon filing.
The sourced path is the Louisiana water topic hub plus each project profile. This page recovers the general query without replacing /topics/water.
Times-Picayune reporting, citing state records, puts Hyperion's baseline at about 1.5 million gallons per day.
The Cenla Report's review of state authorizations puts the peak-conditions allowance at up to 23 million gallons per day, or about 8.4 billion gallons per year.
The campus cooling method is not in the public record. A Boeuf River withdrawal authorization (WD-26-RIC-04) shows a water-supply arrangement; LouisianAI does not infer a cooling design from that permit.
Amazon has not published a daily-gallon water-use figure comparable to Hyperion.
The sourced public commitment is up to $400 million in regional water infrastructure alongside the Caddo and Bossier campuses, plus a $250,000 community fund that Amazon says includes local water-quality projects.
Hut 8 River Bend is sited for river-adjacent cooling on the Mississippi River corridor. No operator-published daily-gallon figure is in the LouisianAI water profile.
Applied Digital Delta Forge 1 likewise has no sourced daily-gallon withdrawal in the public record. Cooling claims stay unverified until an LDEQ, parish, or operator filing names the volume.
There is no sourced statewide or global gallons-per-query figure on LouisianAI. Water use is campus-specific. The only Louisiana campus with published daily-gallon figures is Meta Hyperion: about 1.5 million gallons/day baseline and up to 23 million gallons/day at peak, both from reporting that cites state records.
Public reporting from the Times-Picayune, citing state records, puts the baseline at about 1.5 million gallons per day. Separate state authorizations cited by The Cenla Report allow up to 23 million gallons per day under peak conditions.
No. Amazon has a regional water-infrastructure commitment but no comparable daily-gallon filing. Hut 8 and Applied Digital have no sourced daily-gallon volumes in the LouisianAI water profiles.
