In this article, we’ll break down myths vs. reality around data centers and water. We’ll clarify what “water usage” really means in this context, the types of cooling systems (from evaporative cooling towers to closed-loop recycled water systems), how much water is actually consumed vs. returned, and whether data center water use truly deprives communities of drinking water.
