    question: if it is a closed loop, how do you dump the heat out of the water? To the air? Doesn’t that alter the climate of local habitat?

      Yes, but that applies for all human activity, we always dump heat into the air around us one way or another. Even just by being alive. The issue with open loop cooling is it also evaporates a ton of water and works best in dry climates, which is why they’re building new evaporative cooled data centers in deserts. Where water is scarce.
