Question: Is water a renewable resource? Is the earth in danger of running out of water?
Answer: Yes water is a renewable resource. The Earth will always have the same amount of water and will never run out but since certain stages in the water cycle take awhile to complete, the water can sometimes be hard to get to. Water spends a small quantity of time as rain or snow but water in lakes take up to decades to cycle. Water in oceans and glaciers can take up to thousands of years to cycle. Places where water is scarce, it becomes non-renewable. After the water is used up, it won't come back which will be catastrophic for Earth's inhabitants.
In conclusion,water is a very precious resource and it should not be taken lightly. When it is all used up, the world's animals and people alike would die off before anymore water comes back.
