Water Deficit or Ample Sufficiency Earth is dynamic. Cold eras alternate with hot ones. Earth is still coming out of a cold one, whether or not human behaviour is exacerbating it. Heat absorption at the Poles means an increasing area of water to air surface; and this means more evaporation. Clouds laden with water soon lose it by precipitation. Therefore there should be plenty for an earth sized population. But currently our global population needs a planet that is 1.4 - 1.5 times bigger! Not only this but each of us uses more water in the home than we did a century ago; and to this we have to add the water required for our manufacturing industries, energy etc. Starter solutions are to:
use less in our personal lives - be sensible in your cleaning of the home.
avoid buying stuff that quickly degenerates (most plastics) or that only has a short period of usefulness - the best childrens toys are cardboard boxes, paper and round tipped scissors, closely followed by Lego (a plastic!), Mechano, offcuts of materials, unravelled wool and threads etc. For longevity and beauty try wooden toys - they lock up carbon for their lives!
buy good quality gadgetry. Stuff that you know will last you several years and still be useful to others.
allow the heat of the sun to heat your home in the summer with removeable panels of insulation; rather than creating an ice box that relies on you to buy heating for it both summer and winter. I rent such a horror!
