– How will water eventually run out?

Question

Water has been described as a finite resource. I’m talking about all water – not fresh drinkin water.

I understand that there are various things that water goes through to be recirculated through the environment, such as being absorbed by the sun and there is a cycle. But how can this lead to water being a finite resource? Are there other ‘destructive’ processes involving water that means it will be lost forever?

Answer 1

Water is functionality infinite for our purposes, *clean* and *drinkable* water can run out.

Or at least be used up faster than more is made.
