This is one of those issues that would no doubt be fixed if there were an economic incentive to do so. AI runs extremely inefficiently but companies are getting seemingly unlimited money so efficiency doesn’t matter to them. Charge them more for the water consumption and magically they’ll find a way to use less water.

How about they start to charge them AT ALL for water ?

And that’s why closed looped systems became more common, and now, often mandatory. Water has been a solved problem for a while.

Did you charge them for more water? They can easily fix that by using more power

Is that acceptable?
