The reason there is a concern about the availability of fresh drinking water and rightly so, is perhaps because for one thing the water covering the planet is salted and extracting the salt from the water is a costly exercise.

Also you should understand that fresh water is not tap water as that water is deadly and polluted. Also the lack f rain fall in some areas will reduce the availability of fresh water, comes from the hills and mountains and flows underground.

It is almost impossible to capture this water in its' natural state, which leads me to believe that even bottle water is not fresh water. You can only get FRESH water at the point where it comes out of the ground.
