Recommendable! What about water reuse in data centers?
If you are concerned with the water use e.g. of data centers, here is the antidote!
"... Data center water use is only alarming without context.
Actual water consumed by data centers is around 66 million gallons per day. By 2028, that’s estimated to rise by two to four times.
This is a large amount of water when compared to the amount of water homes use, but it's not particularly large when compared to other large-scale industrial uses. 66 million gallons per day is about 6% of the water used by US golf courses, and it's about 3% of the water used to grow cotton in 2023.
US water consumption peaked in the 1980s.
How have patterns of water consumption changed over time? Overall water use peaked in 1980, and has trended downward since then. ..."
