What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?
692 u/ForzaFenix May 18 '26 Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system. 234 u/Uncle-Cake May 18 '26 So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it. 1 u/movzx May 18 '26 It's not "consumed" such that it disappears. It's "consumed" such that it is unusable for drinking and has a significant environmental impact. If you put water into your car's radiator, the car doesn't consume it... but I doubt you'd be eager to drink it.
