How far today Fresh Water a 'Renewable Resource'?

Question

We consider Air, sunlight, water etc as a renewable natural resource. But with the increasing scarcity of water especially Drinking Water, do you still think Fresh Water as a non-exhaustible natural resource?

Answer 1

Here is Michigan it is nearly inexhaustible. Four Great Lakes, 11000+ inland lakes (35000+ bodies of water), many rivers and streams.

That said, most of the world has a short supply of water.

Answer 2

Non-exhaustible? No--already in some places it is vastly overused, as you apparently know. Regardless, fresh water will always be considered a renewable resource--just not always getting renewed in the necessary volumes in certain areas. The same would go for forests, and I suppose even, potentially, air--maybe.
