As always the water hawks focus on the wrong thing. Agg will always be the big water hog. Data Centers using water is such a red herring. Pecans and Summer wheat and feed corn and cabbage and alfalfa use water not data centers and not chips (on a relative Basis) not your lawn and trees.

and at least the data centers and manufacturing actively tries to reuse and recycle as much as possible.

IF you are concerned about water crackdown needs to come to the agriculture sector to be more efficient or transition to lower water plants. And actually we should encourage residents to plant as many shade trees, lawns and foilage as possible, as well as fountains and shade structures

There is a reason why the older lusher parts of central phoenix are 10-15 degrees cooler than the poorer and more barren parts.
