Every bit of information I find just talks about water cycling through its different states of matter, I’m aware that water evaporates then rains and returns to the earth but none of them say at which point more water is actually produced or how. Is it actually renewable or is it the concept that there are other sources such as ice and humidity that can keep refilling our supply?

It’s pretty much a closed system. The Earth doesn’t “produce” new water.
Water is “renewable” in that, again, it’s a closed system, so water can’t really get _lost_.
With that said, _drinkable_ water is a very scarce resource (compared to how much water covers this planet), and we absolutely can run out of _that_.
