Panama Supreme Court allows Indio River reservoir project to boost Panama Canal's water supply and capacity.

A Panama Supreme Court ruling could enable the construction of a new water reservoir to support the water-depleted Panama Canal, which may take six years to complete. The Indio River reservoir project aims to increase the canal's capacity, ensuring safe passage for 36 ships daily and providing a more stable water supply for both maritime and human consumption. The decision could also pave the way for expansion beyond the canal's traditional watershed.
