CLEAN : Tow-an-iceberg plan to save Cape Town from drought

The video discusses the complexities of managing and utilizing icebergs for water supply. It covers the challenges of moving large icebergs, the natural movement of icebergs to the north, and the impact of climate change on water availability. Strategies for navigating icebergs and the feasibility of using them as a water source are explored, along with the challenges of integrating iceberg water into existing distribution systems.

What is one of the main challenges in managing large icebergs?

• Finding a suitable location to store them

• Preventing them from melting too quickly

• Ensuring they do not collide with ships

• Moving them into the correct ocean currents

How does the geotextile scourge help in iceberg management?

• It keeps the iceberg intact

• It helps in steering the iceberg

• It melts the iceberg faster

• It prevents the iceberg from drifting

What natural factor can sometimes bring icebergs far north?

• Earthquakes

• Heavy rainfall

• Ocean currents

• Strong winds

What has been a significant concern in the last 2-3 years regarding water availability?

• Drought conditions

• Increased rainfall

• Rising sea levels

• Pollution of water sources

What is a potential alternative to iceberg water for distribution?

• Rainwater harvesting

• Groundwater and desalination

• River water diversion

• Cloud seeding
