If I asserted that datacentres dont consume clean water, then that would be incorrect, but I did not, I said water.

Water is evaporated and not consumed.

Also, I hope you apply same standard and scrutiny to the water impact of the food you consume.

Being overly pedantic doesn't help make your point.

And, yes, our food supply also has an impact on water availability in areas where food production occurs.

I am not being overly pedantic, I am merely pointing out the obvious fact that datacentres have +- 0 bearing on water problems in Iran, and even bringing them up in this conversation while ignoring corn or beef is ignorant at best and malicious at worst.
