There are only so many ways and places to extract clean water for large populations in an efficient way. Once water is used, it has to go somewhere, which is back into the water system. Every person/population downstream then no longer has 'clean water' without verification. We could have 10x the clean water we have now and we would still have to consider this aspect.
