The amount of water on earth is so huge compared with any amount we use for various purposes, that it can be considered infinite, and a renewable resource. Water is consumed and broken down in some processes, and produced in others, like burning fossil fuels, but these are small amounts compared with what is in the oceans. If you limit the question to freshwater, there are sometimes shortages due to variations in the weather, but overall over a period of years the amount available does not vary much, and this is driven by the sun's energy which is renewable of course. (At least for a few billion years to come)
