There is potable water and non-potable water. At the scale of the planet and on geological timescales unless your sending it out to space, you can’t really waste non-potable water.
Potable water takes time, money, energy to produce, so if it’s in short supply where you are using it for things other than drinking could be a waste.
If your in a desert and showering with even non-potable water which then ends up in a septic tank your could be wasting that water, as it will take a long time before it leaches out and can be used again, and being a desert even non-potable water can be in short supply.
