ROLE OF WATER TRANSPORTAION IN
SOCIETY
The role that transportation plays in the planning of natural areas as destination sites involves various players and the consideration of the needs of the community it will serve. Transportation sometimes does not stimulate the desired tourism development and therefore it is important to understand the central position of transport in destination development if the destination’s growth process is to be understood.
![Page 85: Water Transportation Power Point](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e534cb4af9f327f8b4577/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Importance to Foreign Trade
Majority of foreign trading partners, the only options for transportation are water or air. Water-based transportation is generally the most cost effective mode for the majority of internationally traded goods.
Ports function as the transfer point between land and water transportation of cargo.
The channels provide adequate water depths for the vessels and navigational aids.
![Page 86: Water Transportation Power Point](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e534cb4af9f327f8b4577/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Water Transportation Today
Today, as much as ever, America relies on its system of inland waterways and coastal ports. Imports and exports of raw materials and finished products fuel the world economy.
A significant portion of domestic trade is carried on the inland waterways as well. Industries that either use or produce large, heavy, or bulk materials are often located adjacent to waterways in order to take advantage of barge transportation. Barges can move more weight and volume at less cost and at less environmental impact than freight moved by planes, trains, or trucks. Steel mills, lumber mills, oil refineries, and grain silos can all be found adjacent to navigation channels.
![Page 87: Water Transportation Power Point](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e534cb4af9f327f8b4577/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
The Future of Water Transportation
Barges and ships use less fuel to carry a higher volume of cargo than trucks, railcars, or airplanes, they operate more cheaply and with less environmental impact than other transportation alternatives. The efficiency of the U.S. waterways infrastructure is key to the nation's competitive position in the international marketplace. Other nations have modeled their waterways infrastructure on their system in order to improve their own potential for world trade. To meet the challenges of the future, the American Ports and the Corps of Engineers actively plan for port and channel improvements. There is a great deal of effort locally and nationally to find ways to make the development and maintenance of waterways and port facilities economical and environmentally sound. With careful planning and conscientious maintenance, our waterways -- the most ancient of highways -- will serve us long into the future.

Effects in the Environment
•Dams change free-flowing rivers into reservoirs, and can prevent fish movements.
•Navigation also requires dredging in order to maintain safe depths in channels, which in the past has been seen as an environmental problem.

Water Pollution
The normal operation of transportation vehicles does not generate water pollution in the way that it generates air pollution. Shipping activity, in particular, directly affects the environment in a number of ways. The routine discharge of ballast water from marine vessels, if ballast is not segregated from cargo, introduces oil pollution at sea and in coastal waters, and can lead to introduction of nuisance species transported from the boat’s origin to its destination. The routine maintenance dredging of ports and inland waterways stirs up toxic sediment and frequently leads to the disposal of dredged material in the open ocean. These problems increase with growth in shipping, although they are less directly linked to ton-kilometers of freight than is air pollution.

Air Pollution
All transport modes consume energy and the most common source of energy is from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, petrol, diesel, etc. The relation between air pollution and respiratory disease have been demonstrated by various studies and the detrimental effects on the planet earth is widely recognized recently. The combustion of the fuels releases several contaminants into the atmosphere, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, and other particulate matter. Particulate matters are minute solid or liquid particles that are suspended in the atmosphere. They include aerosols, smoke, and dust particles. These air pollutants once emitted into the atmosphere , undergo mixing and disperse into the surroundings.
![Page 92: Water Transportation Power Point](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e534cb4af9f327f8b4577/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Noise Pollution Sound is acoustical energy released into atmosphere by vibrating or moving bodies where as noise is unwanted sound produced. Transportation is a major contributor of noise pollution. Noise is generated during both construction and operation. During construction, operation of large equipments causes considerable noise to the neighborhood. During the operation, noise is generated by the engine and exhaust systems of vehicle, aerodynamic friction, and the interaction between the vehicle and the support system (road-tire, rail-wheel). Extended exposure to excessive sound has been shown to produce physical and psychological damage.

Role of Water Transport in Tourism
Cruise tourism has been a growing market sector around the world, not only as a means to travel to a destination but as an experience. The development of a destination as a cruise port requires in-depth economic, environmental and social assessment. Destinations also need to consider the capacity of existing tourism product, marine infrastructure, land-based transport services and tour operations to meet the needs of this market. Successful cruise destinations must provide a unique experience for visitors, have well organized transport systems and public amenities, clustered tourism products and attractions and a variety of excursion and shopping options.
![Page 94: Water Transportation Power Point](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e534cb4af9f327f8b4577/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
There are a number of considerations in developing
appropriate and effective water-based transport facilities and
services in a destination including:
•Understanding visitor and resident demand for water-
based infrastructure and facilities and assessing this demand
against existing supply;
•Assessment of the ecological, economic, social and
cultural impacts of water-based transport
•Consideration of the planning and safety regulations and
environmental restrictions for the development of water-
based transport facilities;
![Page 95: Water Transportation Power Point](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/547e534cb4af9f327f8b4577/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
•Development of a comprehensive management
and monitoring plan for the transport operation to
ensure sustainability of the business and
conservation of the natural environment;
•Incorporation of all stakeholders interests and
values to ensure support and commitment for
development and ongoing management;
•Development of public / private partnerships to
gain public support for infrastructure development
and private involvement in tourism operations.

Positive Impacts of the Cruise Industry
The industry contributes to the economy of destination areas.
In addition, the exposure of tourists to beautiful, pristine areas such as those in Alaska can improve understanding of the need for conservation.
The cruise industry can aid in raising awareness of threatened or endangered species.
