Will water ever deplete someday?

Question

Is it true that our source of water comes from earth's natural water source? ( Sea, reservoirs, etc.)

If so, how do water remain huge in quantities when the population on earth actually lives on consuming water daily.

Will water eventually deplete on earth?

Answer 1

Water is constantly recycled through natural processes, rain, snow evaporation.  Any water we consume ends up back in the atmosphere as waste or vapour.  The limitations on water resources is the amount of fresh drinkable water.  As long as we have power, we will always be able to distill or desalinate water, but developing nations lack such capability and are constrained by available fresh water resources.

Answer 2

The same amount of water has been and always will be around, in one form or another.  A couple of the problems with water are that it's not always clean freshwater and it's not always where we need it to be.  For example, there's a huge amount of water locked up in Antarctic ice, but that would be pretty tough to get to India where people need to have water trucked in daily.

This topic is basically what I hope to address in my future career.  A couple of good books I've read recently are "Water Wars" by Diane Raines Ward and "When the Rivers Run Dry" by Fred Pearce.

Answer 3

No we will end up recycling our pee forever

Answer 4

Nope, water on Earth won't ever deplete.

We're using the same water that has been around since the time of the dinosaurs, and beyond that.
