Like when ppl say don’t wash your yard or car with a hose. Isn’t the extra water or for that matter all water either seeping underground and adding to groundwater table or being evaporated into nature to be recycled? In both cases the water will be filtered enough to be potable….

You’re correct that the water isn’t actually wasted, per se. However, when wasting water, where it ends up usually isn’t somewhere readily available. Whether into the ground, which takes quite some time to become groundwater, or to a sewage treatment plant that requires time, energy and money, or ends up somewhere that it simply cannot be reused for the sake of drinking or nourishing the land. Essentially you are migrating the water to places that are less readily available to humans and/or wildlife or nature.
