An iceberg - One main problem in New World

An iceberg is a large amount of ice broken off a glacier. The wind moves it in the sea. Only a small portion of an iceberg is visible on the sea.Icebergs are threat ships which avoid them by diverting their direction when they see them floating toward them. When these huge ice mountain float, gradually they are melted and layers fall on to the sea.

There had been times that the iceberg from Antarctic and Arctic regions towed by high powered ships to countries where water is scarce. Huge ring are fixed into the icebergs and strong nylon ropes are tied from the ships to the rings.
It has been proved that icebergs contain fresh water which is good for human consumption. However, if this water is used for watering plants. Certain amount of sea water must be added as plants need salt.
