Irrelevant. There are more than enough natural resources, including water, for a lot more people than 7 billion. Compare 7 billion people to the landmass that is livable on earth and there would be more than ample resources for many times the population of today. The problem is greed and mismanagement of resources. Not lack of them.

Humankind likes to condense into major cities. These cities cannot support themselves using the resources available. They have to pull resources from surrounding areas. Look at NYC and all of the fresh water that is pulled from many upstate reservoirs. Therefore pulling it from those areas and affecting their water tables. I know, because I live there.
We are still losing massive amounts of forestland all over the world at an alarming rate.
Humans end up becoming locusts for the areas they cohabitate in. If you can find evidence that all of this is another 'sky is falling' situation, by all means link some peer reviewed papers or studies.
