You do realize there is no 'new' water, right? The water we drink today is the same water our great-grandparents drank, the same water they drank during the Ottoman Empire, the same water the dinosaurs drank. There is no manufacturing process for water, it just participates in an endless cycle... falls from clouds in the sky, via brooks, streams & rivers works its way back to the sea, evaporates back up into clouds in the sky which carry it ...off & drop it someplace else on the globe where it then repeats the cycle. Somewhere along the way it gets cleaned, scrubbed up & ready for reuse.
Water is in the same unique category as dirt. They are finite and infinite, at the exact same time. We cannot get any more; we cannot get rid of what we've already got.
How amazing is this planet? The orb we call home, this Earth, is the most fascinating, bewildering yet completely logical thing the human mind can grasp.
