Too much water for data centers in Spain

Spain is one of the most suffering European countries for drought that with large areas even at risk of desertification but apparently wants to host in Madrid large data processing centers that require huge amounts of water for cooling, are talking about billions of liters of drinking water especially if they have to support the great computing power of the artificial information generating. It is estimated that by 2030, these "Data Centers" will consume twice the energy now required (at low cost obtained from plants to obtain renewable energy and therefore in theory convenient) to support water-cooled servers. Of note changing the subject but remaining on technological issues that for the case of the fall of a cabin from the cable car of Mount Faito in Campania region in Italy some speak of an obsolete braking system not updated in materials and technologies even if the dynamics of events are not yet very clear.
