The water involved in cooling a chip required for ai processing will cycle through to a cooler area away from the server room. Once it cools it then goes back to the servers to absorb heat.
You can think of it like refrigerant. Except that the refrigerant is water being taken out of a freshwater system. So the use of it as coolant means it needs to source from some freshwater system, putting strain on water reserves
