- when disposing the water into the sewers, the water might get "lost" into the oceans, where it's not available as drinking water

- when disposing water used for cooling into the rivers it was taken from, there might be environmental issues with water temperature. i know that this is an issue with rivers in europe where the industry is allowed to measure and report their adherence to the laws regarding the maximum allowed water temperatures themselves and, to no ones surprise, the rivers are too warm.

so water is not destroyed, but it can be made unusable or unavailable for the locally intended purpose.
