Strategies Surveys' for Increasing Navigation Capacity of Navigable Rivers (Case Study of Karun, Bahmanshir and Arvand River)
The only navigable river is the Karun River in Iran. Karun shipping history dates back to Nasser al-Din Qajar Shah. Climate change and drought, harvests more water and reduce its capacity, the existence of new railways and highways as the main competitors of cargo from the port of Mahshahr and Khorramshahr to Ahvaz due to the boom in river water transport has been falling. There are few studies on water transport in Karun river. In this study, some of their results are discussed in general. Then, based on the acceptance of the latest research, the most important physical barriers to river transportation have been identified and their remediation strategies adapted to the current situation. Then shipping Signs required of navigation and auxiliary's equipment for sailing have also been offered. Previous studies included :(Iranian structural consulting engineers, 2004; Adabdanan Consulting Engineers, 2004) and Especially (Scott Wilson and Piesold, 2005) It has been attributed to the heavy losses of water transportation, especially in the high tonnage of annual freight. The most recent study, ongoing surveys at the Khuzestan Water and Power Organization (Mansouri Kia, 2018) show that the transport medium (in the pessimistic scenario optimistic scenario about 700 thousand tons and 2133 thousand tons in the target year 1425), together with previous studies is the development of tourism can be no economic losses. Water transport is the base year 2020. Heavy financial losses were previously assumed for river transportation. The most important results of recent research suggest that these losses are reduced by modifying the design vessel dimensions.Another important result of the present study is identifying the physical problems for the Iranian rivers transportation and to provide solutions (except for the sediment removal problem that is being investigated at another study). Applying the research results on solving physical barriers and financial support by private investment (or other financing options), revive water transportation in Karun it is possible.
