Freshwater can be renewed, but environmentalists consider it nonrenewable. Why is there a contradiction in classification?

Answer:

Freshwater is easily polluted or depleted before it can be replaced.

Step-by-step explanation:

True, it is a renewable resource, but since 1 % of all the water on Earth we use is Fresh water, it will get contaminated quicker and takes a slow process to convert back again.

Hope it helps!
