The true statement about fresh water is:

In some places on earth, fresh water is being used up faster than it can be replaced.

This reflects the reality that while fresh water is replenished through natural processes like the water cycle, certain regions are depleting their freshwater resources more quickly than they can be naturally replenished due to factors such as over-extraction, pollution, and climate change. The other statements are not accurate.
