Panama - Navigating crises at the canal | DW Documentary
Panama's famous canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. But, this important gateway for world trade is increasingly blocked. Cargo ships often have to wait weeks for passage, because water levels in the canal are too low. The cause? Drought. Every day, 30 - 40 ships pass through the Panama Canal, carrying one-and-a-half million tons of cargo. The authorities are prepared to do just about anything to preserve the valuable canal. It is, after all, Panama's main source of income.
