Exactly. When you're done with your water, the city treats it and puts it back in the river. Then they use it again in saskatchewan, treat it, and put it back in the river. Then they use it again in Manitoba, treat it, and put it back in the river. Then it flows out into Hudson's Bay, where it joins the worlds oceans. It hangs out there, and then evaporates into clouds, which move around and then dump precipitation on land, and the cycle starts again.

I believe there is a unit called the "water cycle" in approximately grade 3 science. It's not like we're burning the water, or shooting it into outer space.
