Question

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

Explanation:

El agua dulce es un recurso renovable en teoría debido al ciclo del agua. Pero en la práctica, la contaminación (por ejemplo, desechos industriales, pesticidas) y el consumo excesivo (agricultura, urbanización) pueden agotarla o contaminarla antes de que se renueve naturalmente. Esto es por lo que los ambientalistas la consideran no renovable en términos prácticos.

Answer:

Freshwater is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced.
