Is water vapor being constantly added to the atmosphere at the same rate it is being removed via condensation?

Is water vapor being constantly added to the atmosphere at the same rate it is being removed via condensation? In the long run, it better be, or the oceans would all dry up. Unless it went the other way and all the water vapor in the atmosphere returned to the surface as percipiation. Basically, the average amount of water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere represent an equilibrium between evaporation and condensation.
