To estimate if it is worth changing the landscape in order to enhance the transportation system, giving comprehensive evaluations to current cases is critical. In different fields, such as agriculture, environment, sustainability, ecology, and the process of urbanization, ignorance of one fact in the transportation system would cause a problem in the whole system, unbalance ecosystems, and cause a dramatic reduction in resource use. Dr. McQueary (2006) states that while the development of transportation systems benefits humans economically, the natural ecosystem is significantly changed by this “road economy,” (p.1) due to the land separation. The changing of the landscape, such as a highway or a man-made canal, destructs the integrality of

The Panama Canal, which connects the two oceans, is the excellent example to prove the capability of creating a transportation way by changing the landscapes. Pagano, Light, and some of the other researchers (2012) studied the case of the Panama Canal, and predicted the prospect of the canal. In table 1 they predicted the river’s future capacity after completion of expansion: it presented the potential transportation value of the river, which emerges an exponential increase in the next decade. Meanwhile, other evidence also proved the economic system is inseparable with the transportation system, and the new transportation system brought the economic benefits to the trading society. For instance, if the agricultural region was allocated surround the designed canal route, the water would also benefit the local farmer, especially for the area that was originally far away from the water source. The canal system in Eastern India provided evidence that not only the economy of transportation feature is working, its groundwater irrigation is also contributing for improving the agrarian economies (Xenarios et al., 2011). Originally, the irrigation cost was relatively expensive for the farmers, yet, after the canal is rebuilt and refined, the water resource was diverted into farms, enriched the agricultural water and domestic water storage (p. 386-387). The way of farming with minimum water resource but maximize the …show more content…
The reason that climatology is related to the transportation system because it literally and entirely influences the ecosystem, such as changing the precipitation and impact agriculture, weather get worsen and influences the ability of waterway transportation. Although the public would rather believe that the changing landscape for transportation would influence the climate in drastic ways, the fact is, it will not have major effects on the environment. According to Zhang L.P. (2012), whose research group monitored the air-temperature and precipitation the surrounding area of the middle route of the North-to-South Water Diversion Project, if there is no change to influence the climate, the local air temperature and precipitation will decrease its stabilization gradually. The damage from industry has already caused damage to the environment, and the most efficient way to solve this problem is to change the climate by artificially changing the landscape- as the powerful stabilizing ability of the water body can restore the landscape’s health. At the same time, concerning some constructions on the canal, typically a dam, that cutting the water flow would influence both the upriver regions and the downstream region, was deemed as a major problem from the position who against
