Eck-chually, I had a coastal area in mind.

Now that you mention it, though, I wonder what the economics would be of mooring the ice, building a small pipeline (with few of the safety features needed for a petroleum pipeline), then putting a pumping station on the ice.

I recall a movie with Richard Pryor where someone tries to get his character to invest in a scheme to attach engines to icebergs and float them to the Middle East for drinking water.
