GATUN LAKE

Another place that ships have to pass before reaching the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean afferwards is Gatun Lake.This lake  is a reservoir whose size is around 425 square kilometres. It was built between 1970 and 1913. During that period, it was the biggest man-made lake in the world.One of the major benifits is that it pours water into the panama Canal to make marine transport possible during a dry season. Morover, it serves as a water supply for consumption in the capital Panama City.It is amazing in ability of Human.
