I’ve heard the conspiracy that data centers don’t need this much water and it is to actually allocate water to the underground cities for the elites. But, I’m not really leaning into that one.

I don't see much of a conspiracy besides what people openly talk about
We're consuming more video and AI, so have to build the hardware for it (aka data centers)
Can they be used for surveillance and other things we may not like? Yes, yes indeed
Something tinfoily but not is people developing AI may have "transhumanist" beliefs - they want to become "more than human", like "gods". AI gives us more intelligence, and God is all knowing, so having these greater capabilities via technology allows some to feel more like God. This is the old goal of Satan, to become "like God". In itself developing technology may not be wrong, but some of these things are probably driven by wrong motives.
There may be a desire to develop these tools and, in whatever way, "get rid of" the masses of "unnecessary" people who exist, whose jobs could be automated (via extermination or population decline via contraception).
I think more of these "openly obvious" schemes are more likely than covert schemes to steal water, however it's fine to speculate about covert goals that may seem less obvious.
