Dear Ashok

 

You may try IFRTD website www.ruralwaterways.org
<http://www.ruralwaterways.org/>  but this site has more focus on rural
area. You may also try the World Bank Transport site and Ports and water
borne transport.

 

Cheers!

Can someone point me to good (preferably online) pointers to  waterway based
urban transport, covering issues such as its effectiveness, impact on
environment, carrying capacity, economics, relationship to land use etc.
Thanks in advance!

Ashok
