The Panama Canal is running out of water
It is one of the most important waterways in the world, but the water level in the Panama Canal is falling. Global supply chains are faltering. Even a total standstill cannot be ruled out.
And then suddenly: applause. On a Monday afternoon in early July, dark clouds are piling up in the sky over the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal. The air is muggy, it smells of rain, diesel and also of popcorn. Downstairs, in the canal’s visitor center, there are snacks, and if you want, you can also see a film in a cinema next door, the history of the canal, told by Hollywood star Morgan Freeman, projected onto a large screen in 3D. The title? «divided country, united world». A little pathos can’t hurt.
