...because the river will keep running as long as the rain keeps falling in the catchment area above it.

Climate changes may bring drought to some rivers, meaning there will not be enough water in the river for it to be a renewable resource any more.
Because the energy moving the water up to form the rain which becomes the river water comes from the Sun. As long as the Sun heats the Earth, rivers will flow and energy can be taken out of the flowing water (eg to turn a mill wheel).

Is wind a natural resource that can be renewed?

Yes; a windmill works by the infinitely renewable power of the wind, which blows onto and past its sails and makes them turn, which moves the machinery attached to the sails. So, you could put grain into a hopper and when the sails turn, the grain will fall down through the hopper into the grinders below, which will grind the grain into flour.

A power plant is an engine, a machine, a factory that produces power, usually electricity, by burning coal or oil, or by trapping sunlight, heat, movement and using that to generate electricity.The power plant is not a renewable resource. When it breaks or needs replacing all new materials have to be found and installed.The source of the power is renewable if it is sunlight or wind or the power of moving water.The source of the power is NOT renewable if it is a fossil fuel like coal, oil or natural gas.

Is soil a reusable resource?

Soil is formed through erosion of rocks, over long periods of time, and rocks are created through the movement of tectonic plates and volcanic actions. So soil must be continually formed, but very slowly. Geologists have realised for some years now that the earth's crust is continually moving and changing, and part of this process must be the production of new soil and the swallowing up of old soil through subduction. Of course man made changes such as de-forestation have resulted in soil being washed away into the oceans in some areas, and renewing this loss will take many thousands if not millions of years.
