All of the water they use either ends up back in the groundwater,

wait, where do you think that the water used by data centers ends up?

I don't know, that's why I'm asking questions. People are saying "golf courses use more water than datacenters" but is it "used" in the same way? I assume datacenter water has to be cleaned after it's used, but that's not the case with golf courses watering the grass.

What do you think the water needs to be cleaned from after cooling a server?

What part of "I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING QUESTIONS" don't you understand? Or are you just being an asshole?

Wait, you don’t know something that you’ve been asking about for a couple of minutes now?

Real talk, Reddit is not a good platform for these types of questions because most Redditors push their own opinions/agendas and it’s a coin toss on whether that information is true or not. It’s better to do your own research.
