Our Regular, Renewable Freshwater Supply comes from the Air

Net daily precipitation of water vapor from the atmosphere is like a "river" from the world's Oceans to land. This 'river' delivers between 40,000 - 47,000 cubic km of freshwater, on average, every year forever.


Rivers seed and sustain life

Rivers are known by two attributes, their length and the amount of water they carry. 
Although the terrain for every river is vastly different, a river performs a function critical to life i. e. it continues to supply freshwater for humans and other living creatures, including, plants and nature's ecosystems.
This is one reason why all early human populations, everywhere in the world, began and multiplied on banks of a river.


Our Renewable Water Supply = 40,000-47,000 cubic km per year

The vast ocean of water that exists in the Earth's atmosphere regularly delivers a river of water to land masses on Earth.
Discounting evaporation from land, net precipitation of water vapor in the form of dew, rain, snow, floods, hail, etc. delivers 40,000-47,000 cubic km of freshwater, on average, every year.
As long as the Sun continues to power the Earth's Hydrologic Cycle, this supply will continue.


Supply distribution is Uneven
Like rivers, however, this supply is not uniformally distributed on all the land mass on Earth or where people and living things congregate.
Also, it does not arrive on a schedule we can bank on. Should this be a problem in the Age of Humans?


The Age of Humans
It is now widely recognized that we humans have shaped the Earth to our preferences with so wide and deep an impact that we now play a very significant (some say predominant) role in 90% of the ecosystems that exist on Earth. The climate crisis is just one BIG example of our impact.
In this Age, is it not possible for humans to intensify and speed-up nature's evaporation-precipitation cycle to the advantage of all ecosystems and life on Earth, including our own?
