    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.

      Why aren’t the data centres just honest about their water usage if it’s seemingly so low?

        They are, and people just accuse them of lying!

        Facts & reason do nothing to a moral panic.
