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
