Will we ever run out of drinkable water?

4.18K views

I am very scared that in the near future there won’t be enough water in the world. I read news from France, Belgium and even Australia that these countries have water issues and the water usage is being regulated.

I already know that the drinkable water is not a renewable source.

Drinkable water is totally a renewable resource. People have been living on the ISS for 20 years on recycled water.

There is plenty of water in the world. Water can be made drinkable by industrial processes. So, there is no risk of running out of water to drink.

However, people expect drinking water to be free, or so cheap it’s almost free. That’s not possible in some places because the water is far away or requires expensive processing to be drinkable. So, it’s not a matter of running out of water, it’s a matter of water costing more than people want to pay.
