Not all water is fresh or available . Some is polluted by industry, farming, cars, animals while there is salt water in the oceans. Underground sources are used for farming and drinking water. Snow melts and goes into rivers, irrigation canals, lakes, and is stored for use. There is also water rights that can date back to the 1800's and water that is sold to states and cities.
