… Do you think it rains enough for everyone to have drinking water now?
Secondly, air pollution can render rain unhealthy to drink. Aggressive environmental regulation, the type that people are currently staunchly trying to remove, are what made it so everyone stopped talking about acid rain.
Thirdly, climate change alters the growth of plants. The growth of plants mediates soil conditions, and soil conditions control water evaporation, drainage, and where rain falls. For an example, consider the dust bowl.
Finally…
As long as we keep from polluting the fresh water too much it’ll continue to be there.
That’s exactly one of the major concerns!
We’ve been polluting ground water sources for a while, and there’s also a phenomenon where over pumping a ground water source can shift the water table and expose it to ground pollution that it was previously not exposed to.
I’ve yet to have anyone adequately explain how it’s not going to rain in the future…
Cooling plants can use runoff water, salt water… As long as we keep from polluting the fresh water too much it’ll continue to be there.
