Water is much less of an issue than the media makes it out to be. It's a problem in some specific areas, yes, but power is a much better concern.

And even where water scarcity is a problem, heat exchangers can be configured to use wastewater. The Palo Verde plant does this.

Correct. There are a variety of solutions. Each DC is somewhat unique, but in general water isn't a huge concern. Cities make a big deal about it b/c they want the hyper scalers to give concessions such as processing gray water for the local muni.
