re: Some people really do think water used by data centers is evaporated forever

The only issue I have with data center is zoning and the noise that homeowners are experiencing.
Seems like an easy fix for municipalities to pass zoning laws stating that a data center cannot be within x distance of homesteads

In all, more than 20 trillion gallons (76 trillion liters) of rain — 10 months of the flow over Niagara Falls — have fallen on the Four Corners states and Nevada in the past two weeks, according to former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue.
It's really amazing, is it not, the amount of rain water that runs off into to the sea.

Electricity is a concern as well. I've would think (hope) that would help push the approval and construction of nuclear plants.
Older data centers use evaporative cooling which does waste a lot of water. Those are typically smaller centers compared to the ones being built today. The vast majority of new data centers use closed loop cooling. Water really shouldn't be much of a concern for newer centers.

It does, and the silly point that the water is not destroyed but stays in the atmosphere and eventually falls as precipitation does not change the fact that water is removed from where it is in short supply and deposited elsewhere.
Water usage in some places is a legitimate concern. In those places we should use closed loop cooling systems like the one in your (ICE) car.

oesn't the production of Almond Milk (almonds mostly) use exponentially more water than a data center does?
It takes roughly 1 gallon of water to produce a single almond in an orchard

I hope these people never gain power.

I anticipate that Louisiana is about to become a destination of choice for data centers!

She probably screamed TRUST THE SCIENCE!

BTW, according to the science shows on PBS & Co., water only leaves the atmosphere when it’s carried into space, or when a nuclear blast separates its protons, neutrons, and electrons.

A 5 second search will tell you most of what you need to know about water usage

it would be fun to try to explain to mary that Earth is a giant closed loop system with basically the same amount of water it has ever had or ever will have

The water is only wasted if it were pumped outside somewhere. It's not, it goes right back into the water system.

The only water that ever gets “used” is the water we send to space.
So not much.
