how have we not run out of freshwater yet?

Question

I wonder about this a lot. Billions of people drinking, showering, running dishwasher, flushing toilet. How the heck do we have enough freshwater to sustain this for so long?

It’s not like almost all of the water goes anywhere, even when drinking it, you eventually pee, sweat it out, etc.

Afterwards it goes back to the cycle, can evaporate and rain again.

Water is like an infinite resource, since we never really destroy it, we just use it and use it again.
