The Panama Canal allows ships to travel between which two bodies of water?
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific. The only other water passages between the oceans are in the Arctic and Antarctic. It is said the IDEA if not quite the practical reality of an inter-ocean canal were intriguing political leaders as far back as Jefferson. The Intracoastal waterway (also built by the Corps of Engineers) is similar on a much smaller scale.

What is canal outlet?
A canal outlet refers to a structure or opening through which water is discharged from a canal system. It is a crucial component of an irrigation network that allows the controlled release of water from a canal to supply irrigation channels, fields, or other water distribution systems. The canal outlet serves to regulate the flow of water, ensuring it is distributed appropriately and efficiently. Canal outlets can take various forms depending on the design and purpose. Some common types of canal outlets include: Head Regulator: A head regulator is a type of canal outlet that is typically located at the beginning of a canal system. It is used to control the flow of water into the main canal from the water source, such as a river or reservoir. Distributary Regulator: A distributary regulator is a structure located along a canal where it branches off into multiple distributaries. It regulates the flow of water into each distributary, ensuring an equitable distribution of water to different irrigation channels or fields. Flume: A flume is a channel or chute-like structure used to carry water from a canal to an irrigation channel or field. It is often made of concrete or lined with a smooth surface to minimize water loss due to seepage. Flumes can be designed to maintain a constant water level and control the flow rate. Turnout: A turnout is an outlet structure that diverts water from a main canal into a smaller irrigation channel. It allows water to be directed to specific fields or areas for irrigation purposes. Sluice Gate: A sluice gate is a mechanism used to control the flow of water at a canal outlet. It consists of a movable gate or barrier that can be raised or lowered to adjust the water level or stop the flow completely. Canal outlets play a vital role in managing water resources efficiently, ensuring that water is distributed effectively to meet agricultural, industrial, or domestic water needs. The design and operation of canal outlets aim to minimize water loss, maintain flow control, and optimize water distribution for irrigation and other purposes.
How does water get into a man made canal?
By definition, a canal is used to connect two bodies of water. The water in the canal comes from those bodies of water.
Is the panama canal a man made lake?
No. It is man made but it is much more sophisticated then a simple lake. the height of water on either side of the canal is different so the canal has many different points at which it artifically changes the height of the water that ships sail on.
