Actually we are running out of water, clean drinkable water that is! According to world estimates, only about 2% of all the water on earth is fit for human consumption (sea/ocean salty water itself is 97% of all earth's water).
Some of that 2% of fresh water is being lost due to climate change. Also Corporations around the world are trying to privatise the rest for profits. This is already starting to happen in developing countries and may soon begin here in a few decades.
Guess I better start stacking up bottled water from Costco. It may be worth a fortune in the future!

If the Earth was running out of water, where is it going? Down some drain? No. It must still be here! We may be running out of CLEAN fresh water, but it will be a long long time before this planet resembles Mars!

Water is constantly recycled in nature by a process called water cycle. No, we are not running out of water. The water you drink today may be the spit of a dinosaur thousands of years ago. >_>

No. The amount of water on earth is constant.
Maybe even increasing slightly if comets enter our atmosphere.
Maybe drinking water is not in convenient places, but there's no shortage of H2O
