Drought-hit Panama Canal to restrict access for one year
The drought-hit Panama Canal will maintain restrictions on the passage of ships for one year, a measure that has already led to a marine traffic jam as boats line up to enter the waterway linking two oceans.
The canal is facing a shortage of rainwater needed to transfer ships through locks that function like water elevators, an engineering marvel that moves six percent of the world's maritime commerce up and over the isthmus between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
"The big disadvantage that the Panama Canal has as a maritime route is that we operate with freshwater, while others use seawater," canal administrator Ricaurte Vasquez told AFP earlier this month.
"We have to find other solutions to remain a relevant route for international trade. If we don't adapt, we are going to die."

As global warming hitting Iran and other countries in the region, life is becoming harder and unbearable for every day that goes for the people who live there.
#Draught, forest fires, massive rains followed by flash #floods and in between dust storms and unbearable heat are becoming every day event in #Iran and other west Asian nations.
1000s of villages have already abandoned by people who lost their livelihood as rivers dry out and so does the water wells.
Dust storms are not unfamiliar in southern regions of the country, but these days even city of Karaj north west of Tehran has tuned into a scene from old western movies.
The dust carrying deadly traces of pollution and poisonous leftovers of decades of unregulated dumping of dangerous chemicals are making the life even harder, followed by various types of sickness and even death.
This is the image of future Iran as one of the biggest victims of the climate change and global warming.
Sadly, neither the government, nor the majority of the population are willing or able to make any changes to limit these ticking bomb that is going to create an unimaginable catastrophe, with 10s of millions of desperate people who have no where to go.

Storms Expected to Break Record-Setting Heatwave in Ital
Temperatures across Italy will be impacted by a "thermal collapse" created by weather systems from northern #Europe.
The scorching heatwave and drought that have gripped much of Italy this summer are set to give way to rain, hail and flood warnings over the weekend.
Italy has seen record temperatures in multiple cities this summer, resulting in widespread "red alerts" that signify health risks even for young and healthy individuals.
The heat and dry weather have resulted in many #wildfires, and the erosion of the country's #glaciers. According to #Italy's main agriculture union Coldiretti, these conditions have cost Italian farmers at least 6 billion euros in damage to crops.
