"Consume" water I interpret as requiring a constant stream of water. If little to no water is added, I'd agree it doesn't consume any, even though it uses water

- bryanlarsen 2y agoIf you want to get pedantic, even open loop cooling does not consume water. The amount of H20 going in is the same amount that's going out. No water is destroyed.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoNo, it's per scope. If we're discussing a data center, it's perfectly reasonable to say that the data center is taking water in (that is to say, consuming it) and evaporating water out.
- alkonaut 2y ago"Consume" doesn't mean destroy either. It's contextual and its pretty clear what it means in this context.
