1

of fresh water on Earth? They have been frozen

for hundreds of years. So, when these icebergs melt

, the

water is pure and perfect for drinking. The problem is this

water goes to waste whenever an iceberg slides into the

ocean.

are working
to save this water so humans can drink it. They travel to the
coldest places on Earth and cut off pieces of these large
ice mountains. Next, they ship
5
the pieces to overseas

factories. At these factories, workers melt the ice and pack
the water into bottles.
In February 2019, 30,000 liters
ź
of iceberg water
was stolen from one factory. The water was worth about
NT$250,000. The police were confused

why someone
would want to take it. The thieves had to take a lot of risks

move the water and sell it to other companies. They don^ t
have the answers yet, and the police are still trying to solve
this case.
