Towing A Boat Into Canada Roping Icebergs For Fresh Water?

Roping icebergs for fresh water? - towing a boat into canada

After hearing about the enormous iceberg (twice the size of Manhattan), overlooking the coast of Australia this week, I remembered about the water shortages in some parts of the world, and what can be enforced.

Years ago (about 1977) of Time magazine published a report on a number of scientists, the possibility of icebergs, abseiling and "drag" with the ship to certain areas that need them, wherever they may be split and sent to study areas that need water.

Recently, the North Atlantic, which started out the oil and gas on the iceberg and lasso a risk that they are not dangerous, in the vicinity of oil platforms and shipping.

Australia and the southern tip of Africa are not too far from the coast of Antarctica, where the icebergs break. Icebergs from Greenland or the North Atlantic could be bound and on the side of Morocco and Western Sahara left, new from an industry that the pieces of the iceberg, and separates in land transport. If ground transportation is too expensive, might have a pool of melting icebergs freshwater Africa are achieved, similar to oil and gas pipelines in Canada and Europe. The iceberg falls off the coast, an industry where the icebergs and ice crunching falls into the pipeline in Morocco, and melts and comes out the other end as a freshwater reservoir in Algeria, Niger, Chad and Sudan.

Australia could create an iceberg crushers near Perth and Melbourne, and the water pump sludge resulting inland areas that use it.

These are just thoughts, and perhaps even a science fiction movie. But what do you think? And you know, one of the areas that we can try something like that?
