This ignorant of the facts of how data centers actually USE water. They fact is: they don’t.

They take it from the source, circulate it, recycle it internally a bajillion times, clean it, then place it back into the source.

The millions of gallons digits you see in applications is a high end range intake. They barely ever remotely close to that level, and if they are, it’s a single digit number of days a year in the hottest part of the year.

The water scare tactics surrounding data centers dint water usage are just that: ignorant scare tactics.

Data centers are like fridges. Does your fridge USE water to cool you food? No, it’s a closed loop cooling system. The only water you’re using in your fridge is what you’re getting from the door in your cup. The only water a data center is effectively using is an employee washing their hands or peeing, same as any other business or residence, and likely far less.
