About 300 residents on Indonesia's Batam island stormed a data centre compound, saying taps have been dry for three months while facilities in Nongsa Digital Park keep running. Authorities blame a prolonged dry spell and deny diverting household water, but locals say they now compete with servers for supply. Batam has approved 10 data centres, drawing over $6.7bn in investment.
