Why the Earth does not run out of water even though the Earth has a limited supply of water?

I think it's not right to say earth has a limited supply of water but earth has a limited supply of fresh water. But STILL THE BALANCE IS MAINTAINED BY WATER CYCLE.
Answer:
Water on the Earth cycles through various conditions (ice, water, rain, vapour, parts of cells, chemically bound up, etc.). Processes such as evaporation purify the water even though it may have been salty or contaminated. Biological and chemical combinations store it in an "in use" format but this can be released by heat, decomposition or chemical reaction. Ice and snow and groundwater keep the water out of sight, but it does not vanish. The total overall water amount on Earth is seldom reduced, destroyed or added to and stays constant.
