Hello
See the thing is even though water is abundant the amount of fresh water and salt water is a issue.
As you said 3/4 of the earth's surface is covered with water but is it usable..
Salt water can never be used and the amount of freshwater is 2.6%..
On top of that only 1% is usable.. Rest is ice.
That to is being wasted.
Now industries are adding the chemical wastes inside the water bodies.
Imagine
A lake
People washing cows in it
A group of boys having bath
Ladies washing cloth
People outing ashes of the dead
And Someone drinking that same water
