We often hear that we dont have much water to drink or use because it’s a rare resource and we need to protect it but if we use it, doesn’t the water come through some ways back to nature? It can’t be just “vanished” right? Therefore can’t be the water just be reused forever?

Water does go back to the earth but not as clean as it started. Most water has been contaminated with herbicide/ pesticides run off, industrial waste and/ or pharmaceutical drugs. Not to mention micro plastics, heavy metals, detergents, etc.
Fresh and clean drinking water is a limited resource, in many places there is simply too much pollution. So while it can be “reused” it would require a lot of remediation to create the same quality water it originally was.
