• Abstract:
  The primary objective of the project was to develop a PC-based kit allowing users to evaluate the economic impact of existing rural inland waterways ports and terminals. By using the Kit, the importance to a community of a port and terminals can be quantified. The Kit is designed so that users can follow a step-by-step procedure focusing on the economic impact of the totality of a port or terminal operation and linkage to the community's industrial structures and transportation systems. Two documents accompany the Rural Inland Waterways Economic Impact Kit. This document, the Users Guide, has been prepared to guide the user through the operation of the Kit. By following the step-by-step procedures in the Guide, the user is led through an economic impact analysis of the various activities at a port or terminal. Due to size this PDF document has been divided into two sections accessed by a HTML front page.
