Aquifers are running dry.

Some crops require a lot of water for very little nutrient returns.

Agriculture and Drilling and Mining and Datacenters use a lot of water.

But datacenters don't need to use so much water.

A recent Microsoft datacenter shows that datacenters can fill up with water initially and then not waste the steamed, sterilized, demineralized water into the atmosphere as waste to manage waste heat: "Next-generation datacenters consume zero water for cooling" (2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42376406

> this design will avoid the need for more than 125 million liters of water per year per datacenter

How else can datacenters reduce their excessive and inefficient new resource consumption requirements?
