How does that work? The canal pumps water from the ocean right? Why would the canal need rain to keep the water levels up?

Fresh water lakes flow down into the locks, feeding them and also provide waterways for the ships to traverse across the isthmus. The canal artificially connects various lakes in addition to the locks which are used to move the ships up or down.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
