 Conclusion

The Expansion of the Panama Canal added a third lane for the transit of larger ships, with
the construction of a complex of locks in the Atlantic and another in the Pacific, which use
water reuse tubs to save water from the Gatun Lake, which feeds the canal locks with water
resources. (Main channel: Miraflores, Pedro Miguel and Gatún locks and the new Cocolí
and Agua Clara locks).

In conclusion, the Panama Canal is important because of the connection it establishes

between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, which allows and facilitates trade
between countries. In addition, due to its complex, modern and imposing infrastructure,
which reveals the excellent work done by man at the time of its construction. And for the
great technological advance that it brought with it.
