Could the world's water shortage be solved with ice from Antarctica and the Arctic?

If a group of governments had the will, and it was possible for them to raise enough money to finance it, would it be possible to partly solve the world's water shortage problem and the main problems global warming could cause in one go, by putting huge pipelines under the sea, from Antarctica and the Arctic to some other countries, to transport water there that would come from melted ice, if canals were built across those countries to hold all the water, and lots of channels were dug from those to various fields to irrigate them, and if the ice wouldn't consist of entirely fresh water, desalination plants were built along the canals, and the ice was melted in the first place by wind turbines that were put up near the start of each of the pipelines, which would generate electricity that could power extremely powerful heaters to melt the ice within a certain radius of them so it would turn into water that could be made to flow into the pipelines?
