>>729486415
OK.

>>729486293
dont worry, we will run out soon.... just keep wasting it and wasting electricity

Because it keeps raining down clean, distilled water.

>>729486790
You do realize that rain water is dirty, right?

>>729486954
Only if you live in the city, which is why trucks bring water into the cities from the country.

>>729487037
So what you're saying is that if I live just 1-10 mile from a city, the rain water I get is suddenly clean enough to drink?

>>729487116
Yes

>>729487037
Trucks bring in your drinking water? What third-world shithole do you live in?

>>729486293
the recent rise in faggot OPs has limited demand for water since all they ever drink is semen

>>729486293
because of the fucking ice caps melting around the place. there's also a heap of that shit under the earths surface.

9/11 for making me reply

>>729487683
There's heaps of water under the earth's surface?

Yeah okay. It would get soaked up by the dirt, wouldn't it? Where else would it get fucking stored?

>>729487782
not falling for it m8

>>729487922
No I'm serious, this isn't bait at all.

I'm genuinely curious as to how we're able to consume so much water if the only clean water we have is apparently from fresh water springs.

Do they magically re-fill themselves or something?

>>729488025
rain and gravity

>>729488092
That didn't help at all.

Fuck it. Ill bite. Ocean water can be desalinated into drinking water it's just too expensive to do feasibly on a large scale. The sun, however, performs this function for free. Ocean water is heated and evaporated, forming clouds and leaving salt behind. Those clouds then drift towards land and release this moisture as fresh water replenishing lakes/rivers/streams

yeah, because when i drink water it doesnt dissapear *claps* you just solved africas thirst problem!

>>729486293
Amazing bait, anon.

You can purify liquid vomit diarrhea saturated with salt and arsenic merely by raising it to the boiling point of water and collecting the condensation, yielding 100% pure distilled nutritious water.

>>729488109
This is literally taught to kindergartners in non-retarded countries.
Water evaporates from shit like oceans.
Because salt and contaminants and chemicals and shit in the water are usually dissolved solids or plain heavier than water, they stay behind.
Rain happens: Unless the atmosphere has fucking shit in it (and it usually does - thanks, petrol engines!), rainwater is theoretically pure.
Rain as you know falls fucking everywhere (outside of deserts at least - that's why we call em deserts).
This rainwater seeps into the ground and to the underground resevoirs, or accumulates as lakes.
Rivers carry water from lakes to the sea.
Process repeats.
Driving forces for this are sunlight (warming water to evaporate it) and gravity (pulling water down from clouds once they become dense enough, creating rain).

>>729488429
The amount of water on Earth IS constant, though. Piss evaporates and rains back down, too, you know.

>>729488429
It doesn't retard; you piss it out and it evaporates.

The rest stays within you until you die because spoiler alert:
>70% h2o

>>729488429
If the water disappears when you drink it, what the fuck are you sweating and peeing?

>>729488420
>>729488544
And that water is clean enough for us to drink straight from the ground?

So how come there are countries/parts of countries that have water shortages?

>>729488628
Because it's their fault they settled in the fucking desert.

> But rain water isn't clean.
Yes that's correct.
The water from springs and rivers is filtered with science machines before we drink it.

>>729488628
Some countries lack the infrastructure and technological skill to extract water from the aquifers and pipe it to every family.

>>729488386
Rain water is mostly clean. The majority of the pollutants are suspended in the water not dissolved 99.99% of it can be removed with something as simple as a coffee filter. Your municipality has a water treatment plant between the source they pull from and your home that does this filtering (via reverse osmosis or traditional filtration). And another between your outbound sewage and whichever body of water they chose to dump it into

>>729488699
So how did everyone drink water 100 years ago?

Did they all just drink dirty water and didn't care if it killed them or not? How did millions of people not die from this?

>>729488699
I've climbed Glacier National Park, went to the very top, and drank water straight out of the ice.

It was the purest, most delicious and satisfying water I had ever tasted, literally exhumed the aura of purity just like the air and the sky around me.

Didn't get a single parasite or infection.

>>729488785
They boiled it.

>>729488830
But then it would just evaporate.

Either that, or they'd be drinking really hot water.

>>729488916
No they drank it scalding hot obviously.

If there's no industrial contaminants in it, fuck yes it is pure enough to drink.
Fuck, what do you think people drank before water purification plants (that conspicuously become more widespread after industrialization)?

Water shortages occur when too many people (relative) to the easily available water live in too close proximity. Overpopulation, in a sense.
In a desert, the amount of people that can be supported from native water is unsurprisingly close to none. There's a reason why almost every single town founded more than 2000 years ago was next to a lake or a river - people didn't like being thirsty.
The Romans went a step further, and created the fucking aqueducts because they were smart and shit.

>>729488785
Man has been drinking impure water for millennia without _too_ many problems.

Even in Victorian times, the black plague, cholera, the Great Stink, and the piles of corpses in the River Thames, water could still be boiled to sterilize it.

For millennia man has been drinking muddy water that has been boiled over a campfire to remove any infectious germs from it (but not toxins.)

Oh my fucking god you're retarded.
You boil the water, then take it off the fire and let it cool off.

>>729488988
Yeah, people seriously underestimate how intelligent the Roman engineers were as described by Pliny.

>>729488916
A part of it does evaporate.
Thankfully, bacteria die after a couple of minutes in boiling conditions.
So you can boil a kettle for a few minutes, then take it off to cool, and then drink it, all the little bacteria corpses included.

Desalination is also a thing. You know that right?

>>729486293
The water cycle is kept constant

Only reason why people don't have access to water is because they either settled a desert or shit in their water supply.
Eg Africa and India

>>729486613
we will run out of electricity too?

>ocean water can't be filtered enough for us to drink
Where the actual fuck are you saying?
Never watched those old survival programs?
Fill a large pan with water. Add a small tea cup on the middle of the pan, in such a way that the salt water won't get inside it.
Place a plastic covering on tom of it, with a stone above the cup.
Put it all out on the sun.
Wait a day or two. The sun's rays will have heated up the water to ebullition, turning it into steam, leaving the salt and impurities behind.
The steam will condense upon touching the plastic, running down to the stone's weight, and falling into the cup, pure and ready to drink.

They did. Before the invention of modern sewage systems( Poopoo ridding machines) poor people drank dirty water and died. Muerto. Now I'm sure you're trolling but I can name a couple people who are in college and have no idea how water works. The retardation levels are high..

>>729487116
Its called run off. And run off from a hill is much cleaner than water from a city where the run off is on streets that have oil and god knows what chemicals on them
