In both cases these conditions potentially pose a problem for the Panama canal Authority. Even with water-saving advances in the new locks the canal is expected to need 14 percent more water
However the Panama canal Authority is not the only beneficiary of the watershed and water is not the only ecosystem service supplied.

Researchers at the UAB's Institute of Environmental science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) and the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC) have analysed the potential of different species of microalgae for producing biodiesel comparing their growth production of biomass
Their study shows that one type of marine algae that has received little attention till now--dinoflagellate microalgae--is highly suitable for cultivation with the aim of producing biodiesel.
If we make simple adjustments to completely optimise the process biodiesel obtained by cultivating these marine microalgae could be an option for energy supplies to towns near the sea points out Sergio Rossi an ICTA researcher at the UAB.
The possibility of creating energy from hydrocarbons extracted from organisms like marine phytoplankton the so-called third-generation biodiesel has several advantages.
Finally marine algae are not a priori sources of food for human consumption which avoids the ethical problem of monoculture to provide fuel rather than food.
