Most of the water on Earth (other than in mineral hydrates) is saltwater, about 97% of it. Oceans are salt water. The other 3% is fresh water, but 67% of that fresh water is in the ice caps. That only leaves about 1% of the total water as usable fresh water. But that is still a vast amount of water, enough to fill aquifers, streams, rivers, and lakes.

North America, South America, Africa, and Australia have both deserts and fresh water resources. For example, the Mojave Desert in North America and the Sahara Desert in Africa have fresh water sources like rivers and lakes within or near their boundaries. These continents have a combination of arid regions and areas with abundant freshwater reserves.
the demand for fresh water is unlimited, while the resources for fresh water are limited
fresh flowing surface water is one of our most precious resources
The weight of fresh water is largely dependent on its temperature. A US gallon of fresh water weighs about 8.328676 pounds at 70 degrees F.
There are three predominant freshwater resources. Rivers, which includes streams and creeks, lakes, which includes ponds and other naturally formed concentrations of water, and reservoirs. Additionally, one of the most predominant water resources is a subsurface aquifer.

Food, water, and natural resources are the most common examples of density-dependent factors.
yes
Simply by not wasting it.
Fresh water is constantly being replenished by rain so wouldn't 'run out' like other resources. However there is only a limited amount of fresh water available at any particular time. If we used all of that we would have to wait for it to rain again.
