The trick is, don't use it as a trash dump and waste so much of it flushing toilets, washing cars and watering lawns for rich people and golfers....
Always blew my mind that we are flushing toilets with drinking water.
The stupidity of that alone is overwhelming.

Take a large fusion thermal engine with a radiating output...

I have to say I object to the use of the phrase "create water" - these methods all simply capture water vapor in the air by condensation.
I'm curious, Tom. Being a controls guy myself my knowledge of thermodynamics/calorimetry is limited to what schooling I had on the subject in high school and early classes in college before specializing.
But the volumes of water being discussed by some of these condensation units just don't seem to work out to me. I guess without revealing any secrets your systems may be developing, are we talking a system that is the size of like... an energy wind farm vs your household wind generator to make the volumes of water these projects want or claim?
This shouldn't be confused with condensation based systems, which are typically single household sized like the one Peter Natchaway mentioned.
