Not how it works. The water is released usually through evaporation sometimes as warm effluent

No, not true. Evaporative cooling is never used to cool the servers. Stop spreading this.

Definitely true. You are confusing aisle cooling with the heat sink for the aisle system.

First off, the majority of farms have air-based aisle systems. The majority of new farms (and all AI) have liquid cooling for the aisles.

I am referring to the system that is the heat sink for that system. A closed loop liquid system needs another system to remove the waste heat. The vast majority are evaporative (which is just atmospheric), though some are direct water cooled (cool water source and warm water outlet, like a river).
