Is it true that Towing icebergs to coastal cities is a feasible way to supply freshwater?

Yes. A peer-reviewed appraisal concludes that towing large Antarctic icebergs to arid coastal regions is within current technology and economically feasible, with delivery costs below local water prices. A 2023 numerical modelling study supports towing to Cape Town and the UAE, though it notes harvesting and melting challenges.
