And yet it uses so much more energy per capita. This is not like a secret, dude.
No. Nobody has exact figures because there is a mountain of intentional obfuscation hiding it. We know that it is a tremendous amount of water because we can estimate and we can see the data of towns literally going into extreme droughts right next to data centers, but is is suspiciously difficult to get actual numbers. This should tell you a lot.

Did… did you not actually watch the video? The video very clearly answers this. Like, multiple times.
No, they made affirmation, that's not a proof.
For the first location, they say the loss of water pression AND the sediments are due to the datacenter.
They are getting their water from a well, if a well runs out, you get more sediments.
Is this your "clear answers" ?
If this come from your video again, i again doubt your statements.
Datacenters dont make water magically disapear, it have to go somewhere.
You would see a release pipe, so the water is restituted, or vapor cloud, which should be very visible.
But we dont see any vapor cloud.
