AI uses water?

[-] pelotron@midwest.social 4 points 4 months ago

All data centers use lots of water for cooling.

The water is mostly returned to the watershed, from what I understand. Except the bits that evaporate

They primarily use evaporative cooling. Way less energy use, but no, it doesn't get returned.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
