Why do people say we%26#039;re running out of water when it%26#039;s a cycle? OK, we learn this in school, about how the water cycle is just that: a cycle. It falls to the ground, evaporates, forms clouds, etc., then precipitates (rain, hail, etc.) So why are people saying that we%26#039;re running out of water? Don%26#039;t get me wrong. I understand the whole %26quot;running water=money wasted%26quot; ideology, and this isn%26#039;t to bash out environmentalists because I believe in saving our planet and recycling too, but this water cycle...I mean, really.

To abfabmom1: I disagree. The water will still evaporate and even then will fall as groundwater or snow, or whatever...but it never really ends.

I totally agree with you, maybe the government expects us to be stupid,

The way u get water is threw catchment areas. When it rains the catchment areas catch the water and then it all goes to were the dam is but some times the rain misses the catchment areas and just goes straight to the ocean or the ground soakes it up. The reason were running out of water is that the goverments a to lazy and tight to make bigger ones and to expand the dam cappacities so more water can be stored. Take townsville australia for example 2 years ago the dam was over flowing 77 miliion litres a minute because of the dam was full, now if we had a bigger dam none of that water would of gone to waste.
