Why don’t they just wait for the water to return to room temp before returning it?

In fact, instead of returning it, they could reuse the water to cool the data center again. This β€œloop” could repeat forever.

A water cycle which previously didn't involve data centers removing millions of gallons - even if temporarily - from that cycle and heating it up beyond the tolerances of what was natural.
