      Water?

      From the article:

      In some places, the main criticism that residents have about data centers has to do with the amount of water they consume to cool servers. This isn’t the case in Marseille, however, which is well-supplied with this resource.

      The “drying up” in the headline refers to electricity consumption.

      Vapor into atmosphere and goes down somewhere else as rain.

      the bigger issue for me is , the billions of litres of water sitting in warehouses packaged as bottles , cans , food as in soups , and more its literally water missing in the natures recycling circle.
