UAE to tow Antarctic icebergs for water need by early 2020

DUBAI, July 1 (Xinhua) -- A local firm has launched an official website on United Arab Emirates (UAE)-Iceberg Project to highlight the upcoming stages and benefits in environment and economy, UAE state news agency WAM reported on Sunday.
The National Advisor Bureau Limited put forward the project of towing icebergs from Antarctica to the UAE coasts during the first quarter of 2020 "to leverage them as new sources of water in the region," said WAM, estimating the cost of the project at 50-60 million U.S. dollars.
The pilot phase of the project will kick off during the second half of 2019 towards the coast of Perth in Australia, or the coast of Cape Town in South Africa.
The company is currently developing a unique technology which would reduce project costs, ensure zero ice melting during the transportation phase, and facilitate water-transfer processes to customers at minimal costs.
The project which shall support the UAE's quest for clean drinking water was first mentioned in the UAE media back in May 2017.
WAM reported the project would also place the UAE on the "glacial tourism map" as the first desert country to offer glacial tourism on its coasts, saving iceberg enthusiasts the trouble of travelling to the North and South Poles.

Wow the cost sounds reasonable at ten million per year per one million people!

The project is expected to cost $50-60 million, but if successful the plan could provide fresh drinking water for one million people over five years, according to Mr Alshehi.
“We have set up a scientific committee consisting of many scientists from many countries with diverse knowledge on Antarctica and icebergs and weather conditions, to assist and confirm our finding that this project is viable,” he said.

by the time it gets there, it's just nice for one glass of pina colada as 99.99969% of the iceberg melts away.
No they say they have technology to prevent it from melting until UAE. Spore is nearer!by the time it gets there, it's just nice for one glass of pina colada as 99.99969% of the iceberg melts away.
Only cost 50 million for five million people per year. Sure sounds cheaper than Johor chief minister proposed 1600% water price increase!
Ok lah hope they succeed and bring hope to the rest of us held ransom by mudland.
They have been talking about this for many decades now.
Nevermind we will know pretty soon - in 2020 - whether this one will succeed.
it has been done before, especially by oil drilling companies to tow away icebergs before they collide with drilling platforms. but that's in cold waters, and icebergs are left to melt in the ocean. by the time an iceberg is towed through the indian ocean to the gulf it would have collected ah neh shit along the way and melt in the vast tropical belts of cancer and capricorn plus the equatorial belt. result will be a shitty mess. uae morons can have their shit water by then. this iceberg is almost down to a toilet bowl by the time it arrives. as for sinkapore, one lousy iceberg plus tow ship have to navigate around the arsetralian continent and via the massive archipelago of indonesia with thousands of islands. not an easy feat considering both tow ship and iceberg have to swerve and avoid collisions with islands and other ships in busy routes leading to sg, unlike the route from antarctica to the gulf via the wide open indian ocean.
