I'm pretty sure this is false. Here's my reasoning. A google search claims water use uses 12.7% of US energy. Another search gave 11.7% US energy goes to powering AI (projected to increase to roughly 25% by 2030). Taking into account hydropower power provides 6.2% of US energy, I feel comfortable saying your statement isn't true. To further strengthen my statement, I would like to point out another statistic. NPR gives us an estimate of 300K gallons of water use/day to cool the average data center. That pretty much guarantees an LLM query produces more carbon than my filling a cup from a gravity fed water system filled by rain.
