    Yes. It ends up in the ocean. Where there is infinite water. Do you know why there are places with almost no water, even though there is an “infinite” water source on earth? It’s not because they live far from the ocean. It is because ocean water is salty. Salty water is not apt for human consumption.

    When you throw fresh water in the ocean, you are essentially destroying that water. Even if the H2O molecules are still there.

      We should start by removing tax incentives to build data centers in water stressed areas. It makes no sense to encourage building centers where the impact on water affects people.
