Abstract

All the nations that utilized well the water and waterways have been prospered from the ancient civilization to the present. Even now, the advanced nations such as the United States of America and several European countries have been contributing much to the national economy by utilizing waterways well. However, our country has utilized rivers only transportation means of materials but at present, as the roads have been constructed depending almost upon the purpose of transportation of materials instead, it is determined that construction of road is no longer able to be made and reached to the limit due to increase of construction cost of roads and encroachment of national land. At the same time a harmful influence has been given upon the envelopment caused by hazardous materials that are discharged from vehicles. The advanced European countries have been not only transporting cargoes using small size ships through waterway from the land to harbor but also earning a lot of tourist income through waterway sightseeing.

Nakdong river is the longest in our country connecting to the inland area. In order to eliminate excessive construction cost and to promote smooth transportation of materials by utilizing the waterways well as transportation means in our country, some researchs on practical use of Nakdong river need to be conducted. Especially, in consideration of the situation such as the depth and width of the river, and based on the situation, the river development has to be carried out.

Therefore, this study aims to investigate the possibility on the canal development of Nakdong river in view of engineering point.

The actual utilization of waterway of our country, development of transportation means using waterways should be made for the future.
