   So, basically, not a meaningful amount of water at all. Credit to the story authors for taking the time to frame what 13MM gallons actually works out to.

      Odd to hide behind an LLC (LLCs) then.

         Do I understand the logic here to be "if there's an LLC with an obscure name involved, it must be using too much water"?

            To me, the logic is companies don’t put their brand on activities that contribute to tragedies of the commons.

            Alphabet could have named the company “google data center 083941, llc.”

            But Alphabet deliberately obfuscated its control of the facility.
