Like we have a “use it or lose it” system where if you don’t use all your legal allocation of water, you will have the amount of water you are allowed cut. So everyone uses more water than they need.

Agriculture is fine, most of the water goes to farming for livestock feed. And ai slop of course

Data centers require very little water compared to other industries. Less than 1% of water in Nevada is currently used by data centers.

Farming for livestock feed is agriculture. And direct food agriculture is still massively wasteful. We shouldn’t be growing almonds in the desert, and we definitely should be wasting even more water on top of that
