Water is technically considered a renewable resource because it can be used over and over again and it has a rain cycle. However, it is only in the short-term that water can be thought of as a renewable resource and the sustainability of this renewable resource is questionable.ne of the main reasons that water may become a non-renewable source is the population growth. The population is expanding at a speedy rate, and this is putting enormous pressure on all our resources, even the renewable ones.
A resource is a naturally occurring, exploitable material that a society perceives to be useful to its economic and material well-being (Introduction to Geography, Arthur Getis,13th Ed). There are two types of resources, these are: i) Natural resources or sources of energy ii) Artificial resources. Natural resources are materials or things that people use from the earth. It is the natural processes and forces persistent in the natural environment (www.cas.psu.edu). Natural resources are all the things on Earth that support life. Plants, animals, air, and water are natural resources.
