I thought I came across a news article on that somewhere (now if I could
only remember where that was).

A few years back there was plans to pump fresh water from the fjords of
New
Zealand into a supertanker and sell the water to Saudia Arabia. The plan
fell through, not through costs, but because sailing a tanker through
the
fjords would degrade the natural ecosystem.
    Unfortunately, I can't recall the date or what paper it was in.
