The amount of usable water is shrinking daily due to factors such as climate change, which leads to altered precipitation patterns and increased evaporation rates. Over-extraction of groundwater for agriculture, industry, and urban use depletes aquifers faster than they can recharge. Additionally, pollution from industrial runoff and agricultural chemicals contaminates freshwater sources, reducing the quality and availability of clean water. Population growth and urbanization further exacerbate the demand for limited water resources.

What happens to usable energy?

In any transfer of energy or conversion of energy from one form to another, the total amount of energy does not change. The total amount of usable energy, however, always decreases.


Does the second Law of Thermodynamics contradict the First Law?

Not at all. The First Law states that energy is conserved - you can't create energy out of nothing, or make it disappear. The Second Law distinguishes usable from unusable energy, and states that the amount of unusable energy will increase over time - but the total (usable plus unusable energy) will still remain constant.Not at all.
