Water Transportation


Advantage of Water Transport


  • Cost-effective for heavy and bulky goods.
  • Energy-efficient, using less fuel than air and road transport.
  • Environmentally friendly with reduced carbon emissions.
  • It suitable for international trade because it has a large cargo capacity.

 Disadvantages of Water Transport


  • Slower than air and road transport.
  • Weather-dependent, affected by storms and rough seas.
  • Limited accessibility; requires ports and terminals.
  • High initial investment in ships and port infrastructure.
  • High cost for maintaining, constructing and dredging canals.
Types of Water Transportation

Inland Water Transport: -
  • It is the process of carrying goods and passengers within a country through rivers, canals, and lakes.
  • Examples: Ferries, barges, boats
  • Advantages: Low cost, environment friendly
  • Disadvantages: Slow speed, seasonal operation (freezing in winter)

  Explanation Of Ring Water System Ring system is also known as  circular system, it is a water distribution system that form a ring around an area, it is best suited for area with well-planned road and streets, it is sub main branch off main line to provides circulation of customer. Ring Water Supply System    Characteristics  of a Ring Water Supply System: Loop  Configuration system : The  pipes form a  closed  loop,  thus   reaching   several  supply points. No   dead ends  are   found;   hence,  pressure  in  the network  is evenly distributed . Redundancy water system : when  one section of the pipe is  either  damaged or needs  cleaning , water can be  diverted   to   some   other   routes  in the loop. Ensures  continuous  supply  in   case   of   an   emergency. Pressure  Control system...
