A case study of inland water transportation system in Kochi city region
Water transportation dates back to the time of ancient civilizations on earth. The demand for cost-effective and environment-friendly mode urges the use of waterways currently. India is a country with huge potential for waterways. States like Bihar, Assam, Goa, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala have good networks of inland waterways. These networks if developed can meet the travel demands of the area. A study was conducted to understand the potential and demand for the inland waterway in the state of Kerala between Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram districts for a stretch of 74 km. Traffic surveys were conducted to collect socio-economic characteristics and travellers preferences, and ArcGIS software was used to study the main features of the existing waterways, which is in the dormant stage for the past 50 years. The main findings of the study include the demand for the waterway, its social, technical and economic feasibility. It was concluded that if the neglected navigation system is developed efficiently and economically, it will be a milestone in the development of sustainable transportation systems in the country especially logistics and tourism on the verge of fast nearing completion of the international seaport in the south-east coast of India. From the study, emission and transportation cost was found to be 90% and 82% lesser and the overall cost was 20% higher for waterway development compared to that of roadways. But from the benefit–cost analysis, it was found that the project will yield 66% more benefit, compared to roadways in various aspects such as improved safety, reduction in environmental pollution, reduction in transportation cost, decongestion of roads and development of tourism.
