If this is true, why have I heard about data centers demolishing local water supplies? Is this incorrect?

- moooo99 10mo agoIts a thing that cannot be generalized. However, many datacenters use evaporative cooling. Especially when the DC is built in a region with relatively warm outside temperatures, it‘s basically the only viable way to get rid of all that heat.
- SoftTalker 10mo agoIt seems weird then that they are not locating data centers around northern rust belt areas where the industrial land use would not be an issue and rivers/lakes are plentiful (being the main reason those cities and industry developed there in the first place).
