Where does the water go, steam?

A lot of this water "usage" is actually used by the electricity generation. So it's an unfair comparison to compare to the basic water needs of a person.
The big water usage numbers are always from including hydropower (as this report does, mentioned on page 34), so most of the water just continues on into the sea.
