Describe how inland barge traffic would get from the mouth of the Rhine to the delta of the Danube?
What will be an ideal response?
Inland barge traffic is possible because of the existence of an intricate system of locks and canals that link the major rivers of the European lowland with coastal ports. In this example, a barge would be pushed up the Rhine and follow a tributary in southern Germany and pass through a canal into the upper Danube and be guided down the Danube.
