Why is conserving household water usage important? Doesn’t all the water end up at a treatment plant and go back into the supply at some point? Is water actually being depleted with things like long showers? Where does it go?

The supply of water is effectively infinite for human purposes. The supply of potable water, however, is sharply limited by our capacity to purify water effectively. If you leave your tap running, that is water that someone could have been drinking that instead just goes back into the system.
