These stories pop up about once a month and are false. All the the big datacenters use closed loop cooling systems. I have worked on them and I know people that work on them at the aforementioned companies. They use a lot of water, exactly once. Leaks are addressed in those systems much quicker than any other plumbing systems out of necessity to keep datacenter online. If you know of a system that does not match exactly what I said, please send pictures and videos of these systems and show where they are located and what company is using them. If you are looking for a waste of water then look into all the leaky aging pipes of city infrastructure. Some cities dump millions of gallons of water back into the ground every week and their citizens are paying for it. Reach out to the people that work on those systems and you will get far better breaking stories. City workers are much more open to leaking these stories now.
