The. upper reaches of the canal are high above sea level, while the water in the Atlan tic and Pacific oceans is at the low level and the locks must be fed from the highest level. It has cost millions 'to build and operate the dams and reservoirs- It Is not necessary to have fresh water, although fresh water Is lighter and exerts less pressure on the lock gates.
