So they are saying one iceberg could provide 100 million and 200 million m3 of water. According to wikipedia that's the global oil tanker transport load for a year and the largest tanker can load up 550k m3.
It's also interesting what effect moving 200m m3 of ice to a desert climate would have on local climate.
Even if their plan is unrealistic it sort of puts things in perspective in terms of quantities of water available.
