In countries where rainfall is sparse, scientists are constantly seeking ways to increase supplies
of fresh water. One method already in use is desalinization plants, which remove salt from
seawater. Another method being considered is the towing of icebergs. According to this method,
large icebergs from Antarctica would be towed to countries needing fresh water. While this plan
may have some potential, there are certain practical problems that must be solved.
(1) is the expense.
(2) is the possibility that the iceberg would melt en route.
(3) there is the danger that a huge block of ice floating off an arid
coast could have unexpected environmental effects.
(4) before icebergs can become a source of fresh water, problems involving cost, overall
practicality, and environmental impact must be solved. If towing icebergs turns out not to be
possible, then scientists will have to devise new ways of meeting the world’s growing need for
fresh water.
