You wouldn’t expect an Information Age company like Intel to get on the wrong side of environmentalists, but the company’s recent 42 billion expansion at Rio Rancho, New Mexico, plunged the world’s largest semiconductor maker into an age-old Western problem: water rights. Chip plants consume millions of gallons of water a day, mainly to wash microscopic dirt from the surface of chips. That’s a problem in the dry West, where, as Twain remarked, whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting about.
During construction of the new 1.3 million-square-foot chip-making plant, which starts production this month, residents and activists complained that the company’s expanding thirst would be too great a drain on local supplies. After weeks of public hearings, the state of New Mexico last year granted Intel 72% of the water it requested.

A. Chipmakers face a water problem.
