Some of the fixes proposed:<\/strong> One of the short-term options considered is releasing water from Lake Alajuela, a secondary reservoir, into the canal, according to Panama Canal Authority water division manager Erick Cordoba. The primary solution outlined by Cordoba, estimated to cost some USD 2 bn and expected to take six years to complete, would involve damming the Indio River and pumping water into the dam\u2019s reservoir. A feasibility study by the US Army Corps of Engineers is underway, the outlet writes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
