For example, in the case of groundwater, if we use more than that is being replenished by Irene then we would be over using this resources. Non renewable resources are those which will get exhausted after years of use. We have a fixed stock on earth which cannot be replenished. We do discover new resources that we did not know of earlier. New sources in this way at to the 6. stock. However, over time even this will get exhausted.
