Answer:

Poseidon

Explanation:

Poseidon is the Greek god of the seas, earthquakes, storms and horses. He was known to be vengeful and always demanded retribution when insulted.

He is the son of Cronus and Rhea. In some accounts, he is recorded to have been swallowed by his father Cronus at birth but later saved, while in other accounts, he is said to have been saved by his mother Rhea. His Roman name is Neptune.

In Homer's<em> Iliad, </em>he supports the Greeks against the Trojans during the Trojan War.

King Odysseus of Ithaca incurred the wrath of Poseidon after he blinded his one eyed son Cyclops Polyphemus and Poseidon in great fury punished Odysseus by sending terrible storms against him, which resulted in loss of his men and his precious ships.

Poseidon was one of the most important gods in Greece, he was only second to Athena in veneration inside Athens.

Poseidon is said to wield a trident with which he uses to strike the ground and causes storms and earthquakes whenever he feels ignored by the people or offended. Sailors are known to offer sacrifice of horses to Poseidon to have a smooth voyage.

Answer:

A shallow

Explanation:

Something that is described as shallow is "of little depth". The initial description given of the canal is that of a body of water that  was not deep enough to allow the passage of large ships. To solve this problem of the canal being shallow, dredgers had to be used to reach the bottom of the canal, thus increasing the depth of the canal.

After this was done, an improvement was seen in the increased number of ships plying the canal water body.
