the water use of datacenters I find to be a weird angle to take. does anything bad happen to water when you run it through a computer? surely you can just let it cool down and then reuse it?

DC water use isn’t really water cooling like you’d see in a PC, but it’s an open system so the water gets reclaimed (or put back into the water cycle). evaporative coolers and such

also I wanna say the annual usage of DCs is roughly equivalent to the daily usage of, like, golf courses
