I don't understand why AI data centers would CONSUME water. Once they fill up their chiller loops, then... that's it, right?
It's hard for me to imagine them relying on the temperature of the incoming water, and dumping all the warm water as discharge.
From what I've seen it's "not worth the effort or expense" to reuse the water. Some of them literally just send tap water through the cooling loops and then into the sewer drains
