Abstract: The Army Corps of Engineers now spends about $150 million annually for shallow draft navigation projects and maintenance operations. This sizeable federal expenditure has helped to provide the low cost water transportation rates found on the inland waterways. However, the question of who benefits from these comparatively low water charges has been presented.
