Also some wall street boys started trading water futures 5 years ago so expect we all run out of water soon.

It’s used for cooling, so in the atmosphere.

Vapor into atmosphere and goes down somewhere else as rain.
the bigger issue for me is , the billions of litres of water sitting in warehouses packaged as bottles , cans , food as in soups , and more its literally water missing in the natures recycling circle.

The "drying up" in the headline refers to electricity consumption.
