Apparently, it does not have to be this way. According to https://youtu.be/GhIJs4zbH0o?t=895 Stargate is designed with a "closed loop system" that will be filled up just once.

It's a fairly shallow info pop piece that feels more like a commercial. The only point with regards to this discussion (and assuming it is not all just a lie, which I did not investigate, so it might just be): You can have a closed system that does not "use up" water.
> You can have a closed system that does not "use up" water.
But those "a million gallons of water" (or whatever it consumes/uses) have to come from somewhere, and cannot go somewhere else at the same time as it goes to the data center, so from the perspective of the Aragon farmers, isn't the water "used up"?
In the video he paints the picture of asking for "a million gallons of water one time" VS asking for "a million gallons of water per hour", that cannot possible be a faithful comparison.
For these new planned data centers, realistically, what would the "one-time" volume be VS how much they would need per hour/day? And not some straw-man argument like what the guy in the video said.
