    You lost me with…’It is feared that our planet is running out of water.’ There are 1.3 billion cubic kms of water on Earth. The system is closed i.e nothing can be added or subtracted. The water we drink has been around since the Earth was young, we’re just not getting our fair share over Aust,.!
