@cwebber @msbw I’m still unclear on what “water consumption” actually means here.
As far as I can tell, water is used for cooling here. The water isn’t consumed or polluted - it’s just heated. Isn’t the water just returned to the ecosystem after cooling? Or delivered for other uses like irrigation?
It’s not as if these data centers are keeping the water in big tanks or something, so what’s the issue exactly?
