The issue is though data centers are being built in areas with scarce water resources and they get prioritized. They still use a lot of water.

But that should be handled by local authorities raising water prices to account for that - preferably to above the cost it would take them to build up the needed water augmentation - rather than as a worldwide environmental concern.
