So, you can live indefinitely without drinking water? You must be a god.
We're running out of drinking water?
I doubt it.
That's because you don't know anything about it. I do. Drinking water in many parts of Africa, Asia, and most of Australia and many other regions is a VERY scarce resource. Irrigation water in the American prairies is drying up due to over-pumping of the finite groundwater resources. That puts all of us at jeopardy because our agriculture utterly depends on it. The situation is even worse I the central valley of California where much of our produce is grown. 50% of the American population depends for drinking water on ground water supplies that are being withdrawn far faster than they are being replenished. The Aral Sea, once the fourth largest body of fresh water, is nearly empty.

This is a critical global issue that is only going to get much worse.
In case you haven't noticed 3/4 of the planet is covered in water and it is a simple matter to make potable water from sea water.
We will never run out of fresh water.
