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?

The total amount of water stays pretty much the same, but USABLE, CLEAN water does not. It takes time for nature to create fresh water, and it takes time/money/effort for us to create drinkable water from non-drinkable water. Turning salt water or wastewater into fresh water isn’t easy.
Natural bodies of water only have so much water in them. if we take the water faster than it can replenish, these natural sources will deplete over time.
so if we use up more fresh, clean, drinkable water, it will require more time/money/effort to replace it, causing fresh water to become more scarce and more expensive.
