This seems misleading since no timespan is given, but even assuming 100% accuracy this would only matter if we were currently adding farmland at unprecedented rates to multiple places that cannot handle having more water being used.

    This is the entire year of 2024.

    Another great example comparing it to corn water intake.

    A good blog post about it the other day, obviously a few caveats comparing metrics like this but it's good enough to get a grasp that on a nation wide scale water usage isn't really a problem. It can however affect local communities with bad data center placement (similar to agriculture) https://www.andymasley.com/visuals/water/
