We can use easily Iceberg as a source of fresh water

While the world's climate is doing peculiar things to what most of us are used to spare a thought for life. Nowadays, people are facing a lot of water shortage and to fulfill their water need they are now damaging ice-caps from Antarctica. So, water in Antarctica is also less in quantity. Water shortage is causing drought in many countries.  Some people don’t have the problems of shortage of water like the people who are living in the United States or a European Continent. Water is a very important and essential resource all over the world. Afghanistan and Iraq are facing biggest trouble with water shortages. A severe drought in Africa created a severe food and water crisis across Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Somalia which was occurred between July 2011 and mid-2012. It also caused severe malnutrition which also leads to many deaths. Some countries also faced severe food and water crisis like Uganda, South Sudan, and Sudan. This drought also affects many farmers, ten thousand deaths occurred in Southern Somalia.

Since 2014, we have tracked the 2,300-square-mile iceberg, which weighs more than one trillion metric tons, as it slowly broke away from the shelf on the eastern coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. By late last week, only three miles of the roughly 120-mile-long crack was actually still attached to the Larsen ice shelf. Iceberg from the Antarctic has been broken for fresh water from the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica. When the piece of iceberg melts then it produces the amazing sound called as “Bergie Seltzer” and when the bubble bursts it produces an incredible popping song. Seismographs observed an event across Antarctica. Most of the people liked Icebergs because of it can able to give very good purified water and good taste.

An iceberg is basically a massive and pure white piece of ice which contains full of freshwater (non-saline water) and usually floats on the surface of the water in the oceans. Generally, the weight of icebergs which is full of fresh water ranges from 100,000 to 200,000 metric tons. To make that a bit easier to conceptualize, imagine that an iceberg of that size can contain almost 20 billion gallons of freshwater. People are now taking fresh and purified water from the frozen ice caps of Antarctica. If we brought drinking water from Iceberg, then we don’t have the water shortage in the world. It consists of 70% of freshwater. Given the amount of water in icebergs, the "Polewater" company gives a very important source of water to cater to the needs of the growing populace.
