This dataset maps semiconductor manufacturing and data center facilities from the EPA's Facility Registry Service against county-level water projection data from the Texas State Water Plan. It includes a custom calculated 'Severity Score' metric quantifying local water stress intensity.
Use Cases
- Analyze the correlation between facility locations and the custom 'Severity Score' to assess regional water risk for high-tech industries.
- Map facility locations from the EPA's Facility Registry Service against county-level water projection data to identify geographic clusters of potential water conflict.
- Use the 'Severity Score'—calculated from unmet water demand percentage—to prioritize counties for water resource planning and infrastructure investment.
Strengths
- Integrates two distinct data sources: facility location data from the EPA's Facility Registry Service and water projection data from the Texas State Water Plan.
- Includes a custom calculated metric, the 'Severity Score', which quantifies water stress intensity for analytical use.
Limitations
- The dataset scope is limited to the state of Texas, limiting broader geographic analysis.
- Key structural details like the number of rows, columns, and specific file formats are unknown.
