This is such a weird story. The “bottles” are half litre bottles. So that’s 13.5m litres a year, or 37,000 litres a day.
Average water use per person is around 140 litres per day in the UK.
So the big shouty shock stat quoted is about the same amount of water that around 265 people would use.
By contrast Glasgow Caledonian University (I couldn’t find Glasgow University stats - which is itself notable) uses just shy of 27 million litres a year.

Weird AI scare mongering.
