How to improve the management of waterways in the Federal System of Transportation

Abstract
This study consists of performing an analysis of the Federal System of Transportation, focused on the Waterway Subsystem, and of proposing actions to improve the management of the sector. To do so, we will present the concepts of domain, jurisdiction and navigation, and a proposal on how the Federal Waterway Subsystem could be organized, presenting a list of the federal waterways with the corresponding naming rule. The principle for organizing the Federal Waterway System is listing the inland waterways under the competence of the Federal Government, taking into account the waterways either currently commercially navigable or potentially navigable.Author Biography
