The rivers of Peninsular India are not suitable for navigation as they flow swiftly over the plateaus and highlands.

The rivers in South India are rain-fed and dry up in the hot and dry season. The peninsular rivers of the south have their source in the Western Ghats and flow across hills making a number of waterfalls, which are not navigable, but provide Hydro-electricity.

The southern part of the African continent contains rapids and shallow river point making navigation difficult and the rivers up in the region becomes thin like a stream due to heavy heat during summer.

The middle part of the continent has various waterfalls along the way due to million year’s tectonic shift in the plain of the African Continent Region making water navigation extremely dangerous. Hence, water navigation is Africa is absent.
