The only reason I brought it up is after hearing about crazy concept to do it to much smaller icebergs.

Iceberg Can Be Towed To Supply Fresh Water For Drought Areas: How? [VIDEO]

i'll play along.
let's say you get an iceberg to a drought area.
it would be a one shot thing right?
once the water is used it's done unless there is a water purification plant.
if you use the water to make a lake or reservoir then it will eventually evaporate since lack of rain is why there is a drought to begin with.

i see too many problems with this.

I listened to an NPR story on this week. It's notthis iceberg breaking off it's the problem that was holding back a lot of ice and snow and if that starts collapsing and melting it's bad news.
