The water that cools the datacenter is one minor ingredient in the process. For the cotton plant it is one of the few, critical ingredients.

How is it a minor ingredient if the data center will not work without it? No datacenter can operate normally without a cooling system.
A cooling system can operate without water.
This would require a much larger area, because servers could not be mounted so densely. Air cooling can't achieve the same amount of heat transferred per unit volume as water cooling. Water has uniquely high specific heat.
