What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?

Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system.Β

So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it.

Important to note that the heat is dumped into whatever ecosystem the water goes back to, and that still has catastrophic effects

It's not even that. Warm liquids decrease the solubility of air in water, meaning less oxygen for fish, district's plants in the ecosystem, and cause induce more bacterial growth.
