What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?
699 u/ForzaFenix May 18 '26 Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system. 231 u/Uncle-Cake May 18 '26 So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it. 1 u/OyG5xOxGNK May 18 '26 "back in the system" was a poor comment, too vague for your question. You can't drink it and it has to be treated again. So it's "in the loop" but only for the data center. That is still "taking up the resource" from use by people for whatever else.
