Detailed Solution

NW-2 on the Brahmaputra river covers a distance of 891 km between Sadiya and Dhubri. This waterway is also one of the main transport routes where heavy and bulky goods are transported to North East India. In India, the majority of the Brahmaputra's length is navigable. Between Sadiya and Dhubri, the Indian government recognised the enormous navigational potential and designated it the National Waterway-2 in 1988. India has a massive network of water bodies such as streams, Lakes, Canals and backwaters. These long streams give a decent method of transport across the urban communities and towns, similar to the backwaters in Kerala and canals in Gujarat. Few streams in Goa, West Bengal and Assam are also used for transportation.
