Water shortage in Saudi Arabia

It is feasible to use Antarctic icebergs to solve their water shortage in the short term. And they did. But this method is not desirable in the long run. The impact on the earth's environment cannot be ignored. Because this is equivalent to artificially accelerating the melting of Antarctic glaciers. It will have a far-reaching impact on the global ocean and climate. Therefore, many international environmental organizations severely criticized this. Greenpeace also sent ships to intercept it. If we really want to implement it, we should choose the best route to save money. First of all, it must pass through the west coast of Australia, where the cold current of Western Australia can help the ship to move northward, and after passing through Indonesia, it will reach the southern waters of the Bay of Bengal. In summer, the sea area is full of monsoon currents to the west, and the strong southeast trade winds will also save more energy for ships! After that, we arrived in the Arabian Sea, traveled directly along the Iranian coast, entered from the "oil gate" the Strait of Hormuz, where there was a density flow from the Arabian Sea to the Persian Gulf, which was smooth again, and crossed the Persian Gulf to Saudi Arabia!

Some scientists have put forward the idea of transporting water in the form of icebergs. They even came up with several possible plans to transport 1-ton icebergs from Antarctica to Saudi Arabia. Considering the current level of science and technology, icebergs can be transported by the following three schemes:

1. In liquid form: but it needs to spend a lot of money to melt icebergs;

2. In the form of small ice cubes: although this will save a lot of money, the investment spent on various equipment will definitely increase;

3. In the form of large ice cubes: Although this method requires less capital, it may cause many serious loading problems.

because the capital investment of these three methods is very large, the cost of transporting icebergs is particularly high no matter which method is adopted. At present, the technical level of operation and transportation equipment does not have the conditions to handle such heavy objects with large density and area. At the same time, areas with icebergs (Antarctica and Greenland) are not suitable for the operation of these heavy equipment and machinery. In addition, there are no ships on earth that can undertake the task of transporting this giant ice.

Is his method possible?

This is the engineer Kamid. 6? 1. Why did Khelidov put forward a new plan for transporting icebergs? This plan fully took into account various factors such as iceberg treatment methods, tools, ship construction and transportation methods. All these suggestions have been patented. More importantly, compared with the production cost of nuclear water desalination plant, the cost of high-quality purified water involved in this scheme is reduced. The modern desalination plant in the United States costs $6 for every liter of water produced, while using Kharidov's technology, it costs only 1 cent for every liter of iceberg water melted.
