Inland harbor

Encyclopedia : I : IN : INL : Inland harbor

An inland harbor is a harbor that is quite far away from the ocean or sea, such as Berlin, Germany or Paris, France. These cities are connected to a large body of water by an important river passing through the center of the city.

The Danube in Europe, the Mississippi River in the United States, and the Yangtze River in the People's Republic of China are transportation routes for many cities in each case; this could result in damage to the environment.
