Water transportation has a long history dating back thousands of years and has played a significant role in connecting different parts of the world. Early forms of water transportation included rafts and canoes, while modern vessels now include ships, tankers, and nuclear vessels. Over time, water transportation technologies evolved and improved, from basic rafts to modern designs, in response to increasing human populations and trade. Water transportation provides advantages like low costs, high cargo capacity, and fewer traffic accidents compared to land. However, it also has disadvantages like slower speed and vulnerability to weather. While water transportation positively impacts development goals by reducing hunger, creating jobs, and limiting deforestation, it can also endanger aquatic life and water safety through accidents and pollution

2. INTRODUCTION
Transportation is the movement of human, animal and goods from
one location to another.
Mode of transportation includes air, rail, road, water cable, pipeline
and space.
Human’s first means involved walking, running and swimming.
This Presentation include the following:
1) Transportation of Water
2) Evolution / Timeline of water transportation
3) Advantages and Dis-advantages
4) The contribution of Water Transportation to the development of
SDG’s

3. WATER TRANSPORTATION
Transport which move on water is called WATER
TRANSPORTATION
Water Transportation is the intentional movement of water
over a long distances
Water Transportation is the cheapest and oldest mode of
transport
It has played a very significant role in bringing different
part of the world closer and is indispensable to foreign
trade

4. HISTORY
The history of transportation on water goes back thousands of years
Because water is the thing mankind needs to survived, civilization have been
settle near and around waters
Historically, societies have always located near water due partly to the fact that
water enables efficient travel compared to going over land
Waterways are critically important to the transportation of people and goods
throughout the world
The complex network between coastal port, inland, rail, air and truck routes
forms a foundation of material economic wealth worldwide
Types of water transport includes boat, ships, barges, canoes and sub marines
Currently there are more than 17,700 kilometers of commercially important
channel in the lower channel states.

6. EVOLUTION OF
WATER
TRANSPORTATION
TIMELINE

7. Many thousands of years ago, a raft made by tying
several logs with creepers was the first kind water
transport that a person could steer which obsolete

8. As times goes on transportation on water began to improve. They began to improve upon the
technology they use to travel by combining the one developed with some element or tools to help
betterment their movement which is also known as Co-existing. They continue to develop and
improve these technology has human population began to increased and also as more and more
began to travel on water( also known as Emerging ) because of it’s safety

9. Whilst more people find the interest to travel on water, others also decided to ship their goods from
one country to another. It became a need for them to again improve the technology to their present
to be able to solve those problem, so they invented a technology that was not available to them( also
called New technology)
Modern nuclear ship Supertankers

10. Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
Cheap
Minimum chances of traffic
accident and traffic hazard
Requires cheap motor powers
than for airplanes
Possesses high load carrying
capacity
Disadvantages
Limited functionality capabilities
Slow in speed
Difficult to monitor exact location
of goods
High weather susceptible

11. Water Transportation to the Contribution
of SDG’s.
POSITVE IMPACTS
1. Focus on the People
By transporting of food to eliminate hunger
Provision of employment to help eliminate poverty
2. Focus on Planet and on prosperity
Prevent Deforestation for road construction: Since transportation takes place on water
Makes human and settlement inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable: Since on water there is a
minimum traffic accident

12. NEGATIVE IMPACTS
Destruction of life in the aquatic habitats
Release of carbon dioxide
Transporting on water sometimes makes
water unsafe to drink
Accident is very critical
