Jules 🍺I've recently found myself wondering why large days centers use so much water, what with cooling towers and the like it should not be massive amounts.
Fortunately I've found this article that explains the problem, it's the secondary usages like power generation and chip manufacture that push the volume up, also even a low usage in a dry area can have a severe effect.

AI’s Cooling Problem: How Data Centers Are Transforming Water Use | Environmental Law Institute
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the rapid deployment of high-performance accelerated servers have dramatically transformed the energy use of data centers. U.S. data centers now make up about 4.4.% of electricity consumption nationwide, up from about 1.9% in 2018, and it is predicted that by 2028, this number could climb as high as 12.0%.
