Schematic geometry. The 111 National Waterways cannot all be drawn at national scale. This map plots the 7 waterways that carry individually reported cargo in the MoPSW FY 2024-25 statistics, together with rivers, ports and corridors for context. Lines indicate relative position and direction only; they are not surveyed channel geometry and must not be used for navigation or distance measurement. Methodology and limitations.
