No it isn't. We're drinking the same water the dinosaurs drank, for the most part.

I’m not sure your point. That doesn’t really help you unless you’re near the water. On a local level, especially across a single year, water levels are finite and exhaustible.

Arguably it ends up being a matter of energy use in either case, either to desalinize it or to carry it from afar. That's usually very expensive, though.
