Panama Canal reduces the maximum number of ships travelling the waterway to 31 per day
apnews.com
The Panama Canal announced Saturday it will reduce the maximum number of ships travelling the waterway to 31 per day, from 32 in August, due to a drought that has reduced the supply of fresh water needed to operate the locks.
That compares to daily averages of 36 to 38 ships per day under normal operation.
Nine ships per day will be allowed to use the new, bigger NeoPanamax locks and 22 per day will be handled through the older Panamax locks.

Way to accuse a county that ranks 61st on the HDI of not solving a problem because they do not fail within what you call good! You're point is similar to asking why can't the US solve navigation issues in the Mississippi when there's a massive drought? And then blaming them poor people in Mississippi. What a pretentious ignorant comer you made.
Your* point.
that is a federal problem for which the federal government is responsable. Likewise, i was accusing the government of Panama, not its people
