The document summarizes two major civil engineering projects in the early 20th century: the Panama Canal and the Los Angeles Aqueduct. It discusses their origins, construction processes, challenges faced, key people involved, impacts and significance. The Panama Canal connected the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, while the Los Angeles Aqueduct provided a reliable water source for the growing city. Both required massive amounts of labor and overcoming health and technical issues but ultimately transformed trade and enabled urban growth.
