Water conservation is about preserving the amount of water resources available to certain areas, equally important to both natural ecosystems and human habitation and about the amount of energy that has to go into water purification, desalinization, processing, etc. and it's impact and cost.
Water scarcity doesn't mean that it's a rare substance on the entire planet that we are going to run out of.
