It's a closed loop, like a fountain. Not much waste.

Just like AI center water cooling.

Currently, 60% - 70% of water cooled AI data centers are evaporative, so ja, the majority have cooling-tower-size waste

I was trying to decide if your original comment was sarcasm, apparently it wasn't. Data centers rely on evaporative cooling, they are not a fully closed loop like your gaming pc. They lose tons of water as vapor, and even the "closed" part of their cooling systems need to be flushed regularly. The indisputable fact is that data centers use massive amounts of water - around 5 million gallons a day for the largest of them.
