Inland Waterway as an Alternative and Sustainable Transport in Kuttanad Region of Kerala, India
Abstract The purpose of this study is to illustrate the advantage of waterways over roadways in Kuttanad, Kerala. The paper also discusses how the neglect of waterways and growing preference over roadways has led to the environmental pollution in the area. The study area has been visited multiple times and interaction with the locals to understand the problems has been done for a comprehensive solution. Planning of waterways is done by collecting the data from the study area in focus. Travel times were estimated by travelling a route multiple times and distance is estimated from Google earth. Using the GPS device, tracks were saved while travelling by the route, on car and on boat. The tracks and the coordinates were then plotted in Google earth for representation. The study demonstrates how improvements in waterways can outrank roadways in the study area. The paper is also an attempt to prove the development of waterways can be an answer to the stagnant water in the locality.
