    It’s the very last line of the page and seems so out of left field it’s hilarious… QUOTE:

    HOW TO SAVE WATER AT HOME Install a rain butt to collect rainwater to use in the garden.

    Fix a leaking toilet – leaky loos can waste 200-400 litres a day.

    Use water from the kitchen to water your plants.

    Avoid watering your lawn – brown grass will grow back healthy.

    Turn off the taps when brushing teeth or shaving.

    Take shorter showers.

    Delete old emails and pictures as data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems.

    /END QUOTE

    That’s verbatim and pretty much what 404 stated. It ignores the fact that not all data centres are water cooled (with the exception of AI/compute based centres) and data storage is a fairly low demand compared to that.

    EDIT: Put the relevant section in quote because people can’t distinguish between what I typed and what I copied from the previous poster’s link.
