Freshwater can be renewed, but environmentalists consider it nonrenewable. why is there a contradiction in classification? a water is recycled through the use of irrigation, bathing, and everyday use. b water is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced. c water evaporates and condenses, and then precipitation returns it to the lakes. d water is highly affected by global warming, and is quickly evaporating.

The most appropriate answer is b. it is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced. Rivers, lakes, groundwater ad rainfall are major sources of fresh water. Environmentalists consider it to be non-renewable because of the high levels of pollution that can be found in the environment today. Pollution renders water useless for domestic purposes. The other reason is due to the fact that in some areas water is used up faster than it can be replaced. This occurs in ares where overpopulation is an issue.
