I live next door to the largest body of fresh water on the planet for reason, so for me this is not the most pressing concern. But few of us are in my situation. Most of us flush 2.5 gallons of drinking water down the toilet multiple times every day, turning a precious resource into waste. Multiply that situation by 300+ million and then consider agriculture, industry and power generation. It's not limitless but it is necessary.
