(d) Waterways, Ferries and Bridges
Water ways.- The two types of inland water transport are the river transport and the
canal transport .In the past ,the Satluj was utilized for the purpose. The
Sirhind Canal was also useful in bringing timber from the Himalayan region.
However, none of these is now utilized for large scale transport purposes.
Ferries.- Satluj is the only river which flows along the
northern boundary of the district. After 32 Kms. from Ropar, it enters tahsil
Samrala. And then flows for about 96 kms. forming boundry between the Ludhiana
and Jullundur districts.
In winter, the Satluj has very little water. During
the rainy season, how ever, it is notorious foe floods though the construction
of canals and the Bhakra Dam have considerably reduced the volume of water in
the river.
The ferries on the Satluj, failing in Ludhiana
district, are as under :
