I'd assume the water isn't put back into circulation after passing through a data center, so if anything it might be cooled and then reused in the same data center, best case scenario.
The results is the same, farmers who already have to fight to get enough water in Aragon now have to fight more and compete against companies like Amazon and other foreign investors for the water. Aragon isn't exactly wetlands, so hard to not feel the local government is making the wrong choice here.
And even if it was put directly back into circulation, it wouldn't be the same water. No more fishes and algae and whatever made it "living water" before, but warm water likely "enriched" with who knows what washed off chemicals (I don't see much talk about that either)
