    1. Icebergs as a Fresh Water Source
      https://www.waterbenefitshealth.com/icebergs-as-a-fresh-water-source.html
      The idea of using icebergs as a fresh water source is not new. Nearly 70 percent of the Earth’s fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps. Since world population is expected to double to about 12 billion in the next 50 years, it makes sense to start planning to use other fresh water resources.

    2. A United Arab Emirates Company Wants to Tow Icebergs From ...
      https://www.sciencealert.com/a-united-arab...
      May 13, 2017 · The average iceberg contains up to 20 billion gallons of fresh water - enough to quench the thirst of 1 million people for five years, the National Advisor Bureau Limited claims. The iceberg would be dragged across the Indian Ocean to complete a year-long journey to Fujairah, an emirate on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates.

    Does the towing company get paid based on the weight at the start or the weight as delivered??

    It varies. Last time I called a number of towing companies for a quote, they didn’t ask for weight. They’ll ask for what needs to be towed: truck only; truck and trailer; etc. They’ll also ask for the location of the equipment and where it’s going. Most of them quickly gave me a quote over the phone.

    wasn't that an early episode of The Beverly Hillbillies?

    not necessarily for the Arabic countries, but for desert areas?

    and there was also a shyster that wanted to install huge fans in los angeles to get rid of the air pollution? (in that same episode??)
