    I don’t understand why though. Can’t they reuse the water? It’s just for cooling right?once it’s used it’s warm. When you let it cool down you can reuse it. A closed system. Why is that not possible?

      My understanding is that evaporative cooling is cheaper so it’s not a closed system. Constantly use new fresh, cold water and you don’t need something to cool down the hot water. Just dump it and let it evaporate or whatever.
