This is a somewhat misleading question. Water is a renewable resource, so the 3% of our water that is fresh water will remain fresh water. If we consume the water, it is recycled and returned to the system. Salt Water also becomes fresh water through the natural rain and weather cycles of our planet.
The only issue we would have is if we started to pollute and destroy existing water systems used for drinking and irrigating our fields. This would still be considered fresh water, but unusable water.
