Answer:

It is a well-known fact that nearly 70% of the earth is filled with water in the form of different kinds of water bodies such as oceans, lakes and rivers etc. All these water bodies, especially oceans and seas,  form an indispensable part of our existence as it has key roles to play in our everyday life. This factor of indispensability has not only helped us tremendously, but has also resulted in the exploitation of the oceanic resources without any second thoughts.

The careless human intervention has badly affected the oceanic ecosystem, threatening the existence of several other species on earth, including human beings. Accidents such as BP oil spill and Samarco dam collapse are the striking instances to see how badly the human activities can destroy the rich ecosystem of water bodies.

According to the Knowledge Article, the French were the first to attempt to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. However,
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Poor planning, and disease

Explanation:

The obstacles that the French faced while attempting to build a canal across Panama were diseases and poor planning. The French dealt with constant outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever, which slowed construction and caused the deaths of thousands of workers. The French also did not take into consideration the geographical differences between the Suez Canal region and the Panama region. The French had succeeded in building a canal at sea level in Egypt, and they mistakenly thought a similar design would work in Panama. However, the difference in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean sea levels, as well as the difference in elevation of the Panamanian terrain, prevented them from building a sea-level canal. The United States knew about these two problems when they undertook the project. They took preventative measures by reducing the disease-spreading mosquito population and using a canal-lock system to overcome the elevation obstacle in Panama.
