Summary "Waterways and Water Transport in Different Countries" by J. Stephen Jeans is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work explores the subject of water transport, particularly focusing on artificial waterways like canals. The author addresses the importance of adequate transport facilities to a nation's economic well-being and provides a detailed examination of various canal systems around the world, including well-known projects like the Panama and Suez Canals. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage for a discussion on the critical role that effective transportation plays in the prosperity of nations. He emphasizes the historical evolution of waterway construction, discussing the significance of canals from ancient civilizations to modern developments. The opening portion also outlines the author’s intentions to explore specific canals through detailed historical narratives and technical advancements, all while anticipating the future significance of waterways in alleviating transport challenges faced by populated inland regions.
