Regarding water shortages:  it can happen and it does happen here in Australia, more often than we would wish.  We have had quite a few years in a row where towns ran out of drinking water. One town comes to mind: Goulburn (NSW) where they had to start carting drinking water in. Having a shower one day meant you couldn't do any washing but would have just enough to have  drinking water for that day.  This was not the only place it happens.  We live on the driest continent here and we have an attitude of being careful with water, it is second nature.  Water doesn't get lost, you are right, but running out of water usable for consumption is not a matter of: can happen, it does happen.

Yeah, I know, there can be local shortages, but overall the total amount of water on earth doesn't really change, does it?
