User:Geo Swan/Lake Atlanta

Lake Atlanta is the name given to an artificial lake that would be a key component to the most recent plan to build a Nicaragua Canal.

The canal route chosen in 2014 would have ocean-going ships proceed across 8264 sqkm natural Lake Nicaragua. But the water to power the canal's locks would be drawn from a 400 sqkm artificial lake -- Lake Atlanta. The artificial lake would be built in the vicinity of the Punta Gorda River.
