Where does the water go afterwards, and it's it usable still?
Very few places recycle the heated water. Warm climates can't cool it at all. It takes more energy to cool down the warm water so they usually send it down the drain.
I have never heard of the water being reused like this in practice. The majority of datacentres I have seen in Europe have a closed glycol loop and a large air based cooling array (i.e., air handling units), the remainder have adiabatic cooling.
Ah yes, the modern version of polluting rivers.
