Panama canal
“ But environmental experts are worried about another, more insidious problem that could make the water shortages chronic in years to come: uncontrolled development of the canal's watershed. The population in this 806,000-acre jungle area has ballooned to about 200,000 during the past 20 years, bringing with it massive deforestation and greater water contamination from sewage and industrial waste.”

Now we will deforest 235 hectares near our water systems to build a solar farm to fuel overpopulation. And that’s viewed as a solution.

Panama canal
Since last year, severe drought conditions have reduced water levels in the critical trade route connecting North America and Asia, forcing canal authorities to reduce ship crossings and even hold auctions for when vessels can pass through.Jan 25, 2024
This is a temporary problem. In the long term, ships can use the Northwest Passage instead.

Maybe. Or the Northeast passage, or straight over the North pole (break it up first). All three of those though have a problem that'll never go away - they are still likely to freeze half the year, possibly to the point of impassibility, no matter what climate change does. Global warming isn't going to point the sun at the North pole in the winter.
Possibly a new Nicaragua canal could finally happen too, another option, though the expense of building it must be unreal now. I think some Chinese billionaire controls the rights for that.
