By way of comparison, the California almond industry uses 3.5 billion cubic meters of water per year. Describing datacenters as using "astronomical amounts of water" is a plain and simple lie.
Moreover, datacenters can be cooled with water that's not suitable for most other uses. Google's Finland datacenter is cooled with seawater, for example.
