Hi actually field engineer here, modern data centers use closed loop systems to prevent water loss, or use sewer water systems for cooling or even glycol loop systems. Ecologists are not engineers or technicians https://t.co/G4Ap6FLCad

That is correct. Modern data centers are closed-loop and “use up” very little water.
Older data centers were open loop or flow-through, but those are not built any longer and nearly all have been phased out.
