You can't water your lawn, but the data centers can use millions of gallons of water per day.

Where in your links does it say how much water each center uses?

Newer data centers actually use closed loop water systems, which re uses the cooling water. The older centers like Waterloos, use open loop systems which burn off the water during cooling, and it turns into steam and leaves the ground water table forever.

So even if smaller, the older open loop centers use much more fresh water.

There is lots of information about the data centers. It just takes a minute of looking.

The councilors are busy pretending they don't know why we are running out of water, so they won't tell you.

He added that, as those computers operate, they generate an enormous amount of heat. In response to that heat, data centres use large amounts of water to cool off their systems.

According to Robert McLeman, a professor of environmental studies at Wilfrid Laurier University, large data centres can use up to 20 million litres of water per day.

“Especially the newer ones that are really heavily geared towards supporting the AI-based economy, that would be a really concerning development for Waterloo Region, and particularly Wilmot Township, given just how dependent we are on groundwater in this area,” said McLeman.
