Nicaragua was the site chosen first, and the US began to build a canal there until the stock panic of 1893. Building in Nicaragua would have been less expensive at the time when France offered the semi built Panama canal to anyone who would buy it. But Cromwell and Bunan-Varilla wanted America to choose Panama, so they got France to lower the price from $100 million down to $40 million. That made it the same cost as Nicaragua. They then used publicity to convince the American public that Panama was the better site, and to illuminate the problems with Nicaragua. In 1902, a legislative bill, selecting Panama as the canal site, passed the Senate and the House of Representatives and was signed by President Teddy Roosevelt.

Love Canal is a neighborhood of Niagara Falls, NY that was built on top of a toxic waste dump site. This site was closed in 1953 and grass slowly grew over it. When Niagara Falls started to boom economically in the 1960s they needed room for new schools. Local government insisted on building schools on top of the dump site even though they were warned of the dangers. Later on, homes were built around the same location, yet residents no longer knew about the toxic waste. In the 1970s reporters caught wind of what happened and started going from door to door to ask local residents about birth defects. A survey conducted by the Love Canal Homeowners Association found that 56% of the children born from 1974-1978 had at least one birth defect.

Locks on canals are used as a means of effectively going up or down hill. Water will always find its own level, therefore letting water flow into a system of locks allows gradients to be navigated by the vessels using the waterway. The number of locks will depend on how flat or otherwise the land needed to be passed through!
