Inland Water Transport (IWT) has many environmental benefits compared to other modes, i.e., road or rail and there is a great potential of developing IWT in countries like India with several alluvial rivers. To develop IWT, the most critical factor is maintaining depth during non-monsoon period and eco-friendly submerged vanes is a potent and innovative solution. Submerged vanes are small hydraulic structures, and they can also be used as effective intervention for fairway development by harnessing natural flow energy for improving depth of navigational channel for vessel movement. This paper is based on a field study, conducted on a particular location on one of the major alluvial rivers in northern India. Results are shared and discussed in the paper after analyzing the pre- and post-monsoon changes after implementing the intervention at the site.
