Wait, they're measuring data center water usage by measuring the water consumption of their power sources? That's not something the data center operator can control easily. Should they also measure water usage per employee? The section on direct evaporative cooling was interesting and was what I was expecting but then you have evaporative losses seemingly bundled in with the upstream water usage of their power sources. I have probably 20 or 30 gallons of water in my hydronic heating system but because it's a closed loop system it doesn't actually consume that much water year over year unless it's leaking. So it's certainly possible to move a lot of BTUs in or out of a space using comparatively little water. I was expecting a lot more meat on the bone in the form of some analysis of speculative numbers in the conclusion.
