"The water-cooled supercomputers require 1.7 million gallons of water per day to function."
Anyone have a citation for that? I suspect that water is in circulation. I doubt they send almost two million gallons into the sewage system everyday.

Of course the Tianhe-2 is rated as the fastest, and the NSA won't be using something as big, but it gives you a rough idea of the power consumption of these machines.
