since global warming is melting the icebergs why we are having problem with finding source of water?

Answer 1

The icebergs are melting and flowing into the oceans. Salty water. I think you are referring to fresh water and finding sources for this. Pollution is one problem for finding water sources. Global warming could be a problem with the rise in temperature, the water may be evaporating quicker and thus drying up existing water sources.

Answer 2

The reason we are having trouble finding altenate sources of water is because Global Warming is not only melting the polar ice caps but it has a myriad number of other effects as well. It is melting ice paks and glaciers all over the world, as well as raising the median temeperature leading to longer summers which is drying up local watering holes and lakes. You must understand that the increased water in the oceans is just that, increased water in the oceans. That doesn't help people in developing or landlocked nations. If you take into account all of that water sources we are losing due to global warming you will understand how large the problem has become.

Answer 3

Who said we are having a problem finding source of water. And lets say that they were melting the icebergs. If your talking about drinking water, then the water from the icebergs are melting into the ocean of saltwater then its no longer drinkable. It's pretty scary when you think about it though. Think about all the people in the world, and how much water we use. From watering our grass, to filling pools, our long showers, look at how much bottle water we make. Some people wash their cars daily...flushing toilets water fountians....how long do people actually think water is going to last? We are using our water so fast its insane...Within 20 years, our water is going to be all polluted. Humans are parasites who are eating the world alive....Every possible resource is being diminished at an astonishing rate. Pretty soon we are going to eat this world dry...Then we will suffer the penalty. Hopefully im not alive. : )

Answer 4

Because the icebergs melting does nothing but increase the depth of the seas and oceans. The vast majority are salty - to much so for consumption by animals in general.

We'd have to hack off huge chunks of the collapsing ice shelves and keep them free from sea water to use them for drinking and irrigation.

Sucks.

Answer 5

Basically, when the ice melts at the poles, it dumps fresh water ice into salt water. The water needed to sustain life is usually ground water (wells) or captured rain water (reservoirs). The evaporation of sea water goes into the atmosphere leaving behind all the salt and minerals and then returns as rain to earth. In some areas, the water consumption exceeds the rain fall supply.

Answer 6

the melt water runs into the ocean
we have never had a water shortage - what we have is a water distribution problem ( many parts of the globe have an abundance of fresh clean water )
