How the waterways were used for transportain in the seventeenth century ?





The history of transportation is largely the history of material progress. It is difficult to imagine a prosperous society without the knowledge of the arts and sciences for commerce. The natural arrangement of land and water is not the most convenient for commerce and travel, as oceans and seas have unsuitable routes, and rivers are often rocky and shallow. Knowledge of roads, bridges, and canals has been acquired and slowly applied, but the aboriginal inhabitants of a country usually cared for none of these things.

Man eventually established a system of interchange of commodities, which led to the creation of roadways over which traffic could be rudely transported on the backs of mules, horses, or other beasts of burden. As exchange and barter extended, the pack-horse became inefficient, and districts near the sea or placed on navigable rivers with easy access to the ocean became developed at the expense of other districts with equal facilities except transport.

This book that I am discussing about was written in 1890 and it discusses about the water transportation systems of seventeenth century. Keeping in view of the today's demand for more and more road for transportation one can have an idea about how waterways can be used as an alternative transportation system.

Top Three Journals in Hydrology and Climate Change

Recently I have posted the top three journals from the topic of hydrology and climate change. The journals were selected based on the Citation Frequency,Frequency of Publication,Publisher Status,Ease of Publication process etc. While selecting these journals,the topic of the published articles were verified.Only those journals which publishes articles related to the theme topic are considered. The following journals were found to be three most suitable journals in which you can publish your paper related to hydrology : 1.Hydrology Sciences Journal,Taylor and Francis 2.Journal of Hydrology,Elsevier 3.Lake and Reservoir Management,Taylor and Francis The following journals were found to be three most suitable journals in which you can publish your paper related to Climate Change : 1.Acta Meterologica Sinica,Springer 2.Climate Change,Springer 3.Weather and Climate Extremes,Elsevier For the links please visit the home page.

Top Three Places to look for openings in hydrology

Top three places to find hydrology jobs Hydrology is a contemporary and dynamic topic of research. This area of research is always expanding its scope and from the days of measuring discharge to the application of GIS in monitoring and regulating the flow for better management of the resource, this area of research has endured a lot of developments. The very interdisciplinary nature of this topic makes it more interesting and attractive to any young researcher who has a desire to innovate and the agility to implement his/her innovation. In recent years due to the change in climate and global ecosystem, water is becoming scarce and competition to consume the same has been stupendous. That is why the management of this resource that also in an optimal manner is a need of the hour which requires a regular flow of learned person who has been trained to work in the challenging field of hydrology. As a consequence, this field requires manpower which is evident in the burgeoning demand for hy...
