Is there "new" water on earth?

It seems to me that there is no new water being made in, on, or for earth. This means that the water I am drinking now has more than likely bee drunk before! Hm! So... how many times do you think the bottle of water you are drinking right now has been drunk? How many times has it been around? It will go back through our sewage systems once again when you are through with it... and it will be emptied back into the water system of earth via streams or rivers. It will then be evaporated back up to form clouds then rain down somewhere on earth. Simply to be drunk again! huh!

You could drink water from a glacier, the last time it was water was before the last ice age. I'm told it's the purest water you can drink, although I also hear it's $50 a bottle.
As far as ground water, the earth filters it very well, it's been naturally filtering it for millions of years, the only issue is man made pollutants, the earth may not know how to handle that and it could cause a whole new set of problems in the future.

I agree with you all the way that our main complications are from man made interuptions to the system! I had not heard that water from a glacier is the most pure. I know that water only has to travel through about 50 feet of ground to be pure again. I find that amazing!
