Where do you think those 384 liters of water to produce a liter of almond milk go? Back into the environment, mostly the ground.

Water is not being consumed or destroyed. There’s the same 384 liters left.

If this were true, aquifers wouldn’t be falling worldwide. Some of the water will make its way back into the aquifer. Most of it will evaporate, eventually raining down into an ocean or onto a watershed that drains into an ocean.
