Google is racing to win approval for two massive new data centers—which use millions of gallons of water—in a small, drought-stricken farming town in Oregon. Local residents have united to fight the tech giant and preserve their water access. The key vote is this Monday.

Neither The Dalles city council nor Google will reveal how much water the data centers will use. Google says it's a "trade secret." The council also just voted to give Google a large tax break for the centers.
