AI data centers need cooling, but their water use can vary with the cooling system and local conditions. So I’m not sure one global “water per AI prompt” number tells the whole story. Would it be more useful for operators to report freshwater use, recycled-water use, and local water stress separately? What should count as a meaningful reduction—and should energy use be part of that comparison too? submitted by /u/Icy_Pack_8733
