The article will also discuss briefly on the advantages of developing inland waterways system for transportation to tourist. In order to develop inland waterways for the purpose of transportation, some environmental considerations need to be studied at the early stage of planning. Some of the environmental considerations mainly on watercraft operations will be discussed in further detail.
