Genuine question -- how does it "use" that water? Isn't it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

I think they mainly use evaporative cooling systems. Industrial sites often have closed loop cooling systems for equipment and large cooling towers to control the air temperature in large buildings. It probably depends on geographic location. Evaporative cooling is much more effective in areas with low humidity.
