Nice graph, thanks.
How much of the water used by Dairy, Beef/Veal and Pork production can be reused in other areas via processing?
Because, the number is "0" for data centers, esp. if they are using open cooling systems. You have to add tons of harmful chemicals which can't be processed out of that water, hence the water becomes "waste". Not usable for anything.
Can share resources if you want.

@bayindirh@mastodon.sdf.org @thejuicemedia@mastodon.social I've read for both that most of it is reusable (for AI e. g. for evaporative cooling) but there are substantial amounts which can't be recycled/processed without enormous effort. Of course the whole story for both is much too complex to squeeze them into a few comments. 🙃 That's also my point. Both systems are evil and in their scope unnecessary. We need get rid of most of both destructive systems. Given our dire global situation there's no future for humans who can't adapt.
