9、ing icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a watershortage.Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried,moving icebergsseems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers,mathematicians,and glaciologists from a dozen count

10、ries have been considering the iceberg as afuture source of water.Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage.Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile)to Saudi Arabia.Yet the iceberg would be

11、completely melted by the 104th day.Therefore,insulation would be essential,but howto insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous.The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull.Theicebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to

12、handle because of their shape.Only a small portionextends above the water most of the iceberg is below the surface,which would make it difficult to pull.SouthPole icebergs,on the other hand,are flat and float like table tops.Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be

13、 moved.No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight throughthe water.Perhaps several ships could be used.Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormousproblem.Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice.What would happen if theiceberg splits

14、 into several pieces during the pulling.Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen,howcould it be pulled through stormy waters.Furthermore,once the iceberg reached its destination,very few portswould be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become

15、a reasonable source of water.Yet scientistsestimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future.Each year,enough icebergs form to supplythe whole world with fresh water for a full year.In addition,icebergs are free and nonpolluting.As a solution tothe worlds water problems,icebergs
