When and where might this be true for a) Water; b) Air

The illusion of abundance abounds - but just as something is either growing or dying, so too is our hydrosphere. It's air and water are being constantly diminished in cleanliness and health faster than the natural cleansing forces can act. (It's not that the matter is leaving the Earth, but being soiled, I'm guessing is your point.)
Water and air are not scarce under the circumstances where there are both sufficient abundances of each to cause all not to notice any trouble getting clean water and fresh air; and the reserves of both resources are being increased. This can occur with some help, like using solar-powered tug and barges to dump powdered iron into the ocean, where iron is such a limit that the plankton population would explode, absorb CO2 and sink and die, carrying it to the bottom, for example. But the biggest cycles are entirely natural.

Sailing along with the breeze at your back, neither are scarce.
It doesn't, though always happen like that.
