Abstract: As engineers, we have an obligation confront challenges group by innovating and implementing creative solution to current issues. As matter of curiosity, the idea of ships and boats made of concrete is in close connection with the invention of reinforced concrete .we decided to construct the concrete canoe and identified the environmental impact of concrete construction as major contemporary concern, and therefore set out to develop the most suitable concrete canoe with low cost. In kerala now rivers are main source for waste deposition ,Rivers mainly used for drinking and water transportation .But the governments mainly supports the land transportation .Then the public turn their transportation mode to land transportation ,it has more reasons.so the people use the rivers and streams for waste deposition. If it is used for water transportation the waste deposition may get down. But the construction of wooden / fiberglass canoe cost almost 30000-65000/-. But it can do with concrete canoe almost 2500-3500/- rupees. It can achieve all the properties of wooden & fiber canoe. And also have some extra properties like long life ,strength ,impact strength. And we can some waste material its construction Like crushed glasses has light weight aggregate
