加通湖

虽然一些环境保护主义者说扩建可能提高水道流经的加通湖（lakegatun）的盐分比例，但是主流的环保团体全都赞成扩建提议。

Although some environmentalists say the proposed expansion might cause salt levels to rise in Lake Gatun , through which the canal passes , mainstream environmental groups have all endorsed the proposal .

加通湖堤道承载着铁路线，穿过了修建运河期间开辟的巨大人工湖。

The causeway takes the railway , opened 59 years before the canal , across a vast artificial lake created during canal construction .

三道水闸令船只升高85英尺（约合25米），行至加通湖。后者为运河供水，也是巴拿马许多区域的饮用水来源。

Three locks raise the ships 85 feet to Gatun Lake , which supplies water for the canal and drinking water for much of the country .

抽出一天时间去安比拉的印第安人村，去看看当地的手工艺品或去流往运河的人工湖加通湖玩。
