This is just part of it. In reality we will NEVER run out of water.
Who is 'we?' And are you limiting the we to a certain bounded area or are you assuming that people who run out of water will just move to new land where there is water? If so, what happens when people don't want them to come there for their water?

When I hear of the term 'sustainable' I have suddenly itches all over . Do you have any clue where that word originates from?
It is a variation of the word 'sustain,' which means to continue or persist. If you make $1000/month and you spend $1000 or less per month, that is sustainable. When you start spending $1001/month, you begin going into debt $1/per month and so that will be unsustainable unless you find some way to increase your income to pay off the debt and afford to continue spending at that rate.
There are lots of ways that various things can be sustained or become unsustainable. E.g. if you try to run a marathon without pacing yourself, you won't make it to the finish line; but if you can walk 26 miles, you might finish while some runner runs out of steam halfway through.

So you didn't understand what I wrote, but instead of asking what I meant, you just ignored it and told me that I don't understand 'how money works.' Brilliant discussion, not.

Like what?

Actually, the problem regardless of what all conspiracies may or may not be going on is that humans aspire to lifestyles that are not sustainable. So even if the economy can deliver all the money people need to live the way they want to live, it's not sustainable.
Land is being cleared faster than it is being reforested. People are paying money to live in deforested areas and driving around in cars that prevent reforestation of the areas they live in. They are using energy at rates faster than the planet can replace it. Humans are thus setting a time bomb of unsustainability for their future generations. Most don't care because they'll be dead by the time the sh*t really hits the fan, to the extent it's not already.
