That is not entirely accurate, as per the article:

> TI will use about 1,700 gallons of water per minute when the new Sherman fab is complete, with plans to recycle at least 50% of that

Just for context, around 200 times that amount simply evaporates from the Lake Texoma’s surface every minute.

Would this be the calculation you used? https://g.co/gemini/share/0639e6364e50

Basically yes. I googled average lake evaporation rates, and did the same multiplications as Gemini.
