No doubt. But the problem with water started way earlier. And until now nobody was looking too closely because there still was enough so it wouldn't create a crisis.
The datacenters are hugely impacting water availability which was already strained because of said companies together with power plants (which also need a lot of cooling) and agriculture.
But instead of trying to solve the underlying issue and return to an equilibrium they're telling you to shower less.
