    21.2 billion litres of water

    fresh water

    Are we sure it’s fresh? Are we excluding projects like data centers with seaside cooling loops?

      Do you think if you exclude those it isn’t still a major fresh water wastage issue during a water crisis?

      Here’s where just Google’s data centers are. How many of do those do you think are cooled with sea water?

      Edit: Yes really. They have a DATA CENTER in LAS VEGAS.
