INDUSTRIAL NEEDS FOR WATER TRANSPORTATION AND INLAND WATER TRANSPORTATION POLICY

Policy perspectives to accommodate demonstrated industrial needs for water transportation are elusive and require definitions of policy, inland waterways, and the relationship of policy to the decision-making process. Policy choices always represent compromises and are closely related to national resource factors and current public attitudes. The eight policy questions discussed are designed to be national in outlook, economically equitable, and neutral in geographic impact.
