So charge them more for the water. The data center builders are making rational decisions based on their costs.

Charging more does not create more water...

Of course not. But it changes the economics that causes things like data centers to be built there.

Water laws are often times asinine on a large scale. Depending on where the center is it'd probably be easier to run them out of town or otherwise cut off the water through sabotage than to increase the price of water.
