Fear mongering as usual meanwhile much worse uses of water get largely ignored.
Coca-Cola has a license for 1.59bn litres a year in Sidcup and 377m litres a year in Morpeth. Sources ALMA can take up to 1.5bn litres from Armathwaite. Nestle 880m litres in Derbyshire and Pembrokeshire. Schwarz with 700m litres also in Derbyshire. Danone 460m litres a year in Harrogate. Highland Spring 1.85bn litres from Speyside Glenlivet. The list goes on.
And thats water that by large a sizeable amount is getting bottled up and exported abroad, leaving the system. A bit of evaporative cooling for a data center is going right back into the cycle of things, it isnt lost water.
