• Abstract:
  Initially, this study was designed to focus on certain segments of the IWWS. However, for ; certain types of analyses, it is not feasible to segregate components of the system, i.e., river segments, rail segments, etc. In these cases, the analysis is performed on a system-wide level and includes the entire system. When it is desirable or necessary to focus on only certain segments, this study focuses primarily on the Mississippi River Basin, Ohio River Basin, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and the Columbia/Snake River System. These segments limit the number of data sets that must be analyzed, but include a high percentage of the total cargo traffic and represent a diversity of waterway segment types. The level of analysis is noted in the body of the report, as appropriate.
