Annual Report on Traffic on National Waterways: FY 2019-20 1. Introduction Inland Water Transport (IWT) is one of the most cost effective and environment friendly mode of transportation. As per a World Bank study, IWT mode has the least operational cost of USD 0.015/ ton- km, compared to USD 0.033/ ton-km for Road and USD 0.02/ ton-km for Rail. Globally, inland waterways have been recognized and developed as a mode of transportation to leverage these benefits. India has approximately14,500 km of navigable waterways which comprise of rivers, canals, backwaters, creeks, etc. with significant potential to be developed as a mode of transportation. In the pre-independence years, IWT mode was used extensively in various parts of the country for transportation

India has an extensive network of rivers, lakes and canals, which if developed for shipping and navigation, can provide an efficient network of inland transportation. An optimal mix of road, rail and inland waterway transport will provide an efficient transport infrastructure that is flexible and cost-effective. The Government of India (the Government) wants to revive and promote the use of inland waterway transport and requested ADB technical assistance (TA). The Fact-finding Mission visited India from 22-30 April 2001 and reached an understanding with the Government on the goals, purpose, scope, implementation arrangements, cost, financing arrangements, and terms of reference. The TA is included in the 2002 TA program for India.1 II. ISSUES 2. Preliminary estimates prepared by the Government indicate that the capital cost of inland waterways in India is between 5-10 percent of the cost of constructing an equivalent 4- lane road or rail link.

  • Ecosystems for Life: a Bangladesh-India
    Ecosystems for Life: A Bangladesh–India Initiative External Review Report Submitted to: IUCN Prepared by: Randal Glaholt, M.E.Des Julian Gonsalves, PhD. Donald Macintosh, PhD. August, 2014 External Review – IUCN Ecosystems for Life: a Bangladesh – India Initiative August 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ecosystems for Life: A Bangladesh – India Initiative (Dialogue for Sustainable Management of Trans-boundary Water Regimes in South Asia) is an attempt to develop a neutral platform among key elements of civil society for discussing the management of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) rivers shared by both countries. The Ecosystems For Life (E4L) Project commenced in 2010, and received its entire USD 6.4 million budget from The Minister for Development Cooperation of the Netherlands. The project was scheduled initially to run from February 1, 2010 until July 31, 2014; however, in November 2013, the project requested and was granted a five months extension to December 31, 2014. Through IUCN- facilitated collaborative deliberations, the PAC chose to focus on five major thematic areas: food security, water productivity and poverty; impacts of climate change; environmental security; trans-boundary inland navigation; and biodiversity conservation. The E4L project used four tools to achieve its goal and objectives: creation of formal dialogue opportunities; facilitating joint research; development of a shared knowledge base on water related resources; and capacity-building through training, exposure visits, communication, publications and dissemination. The external review process engaged a three-person team of independent consultants who had no prior direct or indirect involvement with E4L. The review process involved a combination of interviews with E4L project staff and E4L participants in both Bangladesh and India , as well as review of the project documentation.

Inland waterways possibly represent the biggest intervention in our rivers, second only to large dams.
