How can water be both renewable and a non
Though, in science, water is considered a renewable resource due to the water cycle, water also has properties of a nonrenewable resource. Water is not replenished like most renewable resources and instead—reused. If we were constantly losing water, then the speed at which water forms wouldn't be very sustainable, and would then be considered a nonrenewable resource.
Explain how water becomes a renewable resource.
About 3/4th of the earth’s surface is covered with water, but fresh water is available in a small proportion. It is obtained from the following sources : (a)Surface run-off (b)Groundwater (c)Precipitation (in the form of Rain, snow, dew, hail, etc.) This water available in all sources is continuously being renewed and recharged through the process of hydrological cycle. Thus, water becomes a renewable resource.
