It is the new mode of transportation used to transport raw materials from the area of production. Initially, pipelines were used for transporting water to cities and industries. But, now, it is used for transporting petroleum products and natural gas from fields to refineries, fertilizer factories, and big thermal power plants; solids are also transported in slurry form.
