This study has been undertaken to investigate the determinants of Inland water transportation network on national waterways -1 (NW1). Therefore, Urbanisation has put a huge strain on infrastructure. Therefore, new Ways of dealing with overcrowding in urban areas and the resulting need for more waste and cargo shipping should be explored. Switching from inland water transport has manybenefits, including less pollution and accidents. Inland water transport (IWT) is recognised as an environmentally friendly and economical mode of transport especially on national highways. However, the implementation of IWT in India faces many issues and challenges that need to be address for effective implementation. In this research an attempt is made to analyse the main primary issues and challenges in water transportation on the national waterways of India.
