Waterbound

Waterbound on a stranger's shore / River, rising to my door / Carried my home to the field below / I was waterbound, nowhere to go

Waterbound transportation could well gain a significant boost in interest from industry, and become a competitive alternative for road and rail transportation, not only by reducing travel time but also by offering accurate estimates of the expected traveltime for each ship.

Waterbound macadam is an old construction technique originating with John Loudon McAdam. The single-sized coarse aggregate is placed and compacted separately on a prepared subbase before the voids are filled with fines, and the material is then compacted and slushed, hence the name waterbound macadam.
