CORRECT ANSWER:
No, most data centers are not required to track how much water they use.

Ninety-seven percent of data centers draw water from municipal systems, which can rely on underground aquifers, with little transparency. These data centers aren’t required to report or track their water use. In fact, fewer than one-third of data centers even track their water use. Families, farmers, and communities share this same water.
