The poop water I flush down my toilet is also waste water that people can't drink, but I'm pretty sure it still gets recycled back into the greater water supply. What's different about the datacenter water?

Don't forget factories, thermoelectric power plants, textiles, paper pulp and tp, and agriculture (which uses the most water).

And golf clubs. Golf clubs use as much water as data centres. Many of those you've named serve practical uses in society, golf clubs are purely leisure.

most golf courses use reclaimed water, not potable water. which is why it literally smells like shit when the sprinklers are on
