To nobody's surprise, companies engage in creative number tweaking to hide their awfulness.
Quoting
Google’s reported that its DIRECT water usage in surged in 2023 by 34% year-on-year to 10.9 billion gallons (approximately 41.26 billion liters).
Neither Google nor Amazon report indirect water usage.
Meta does. It's INDIRECT water usage is 20 TIMES HIGHER than its DIRECT water usage.
Go figure
