I don't think the article mentions this but this is directly related to the drought in Panama.
Apparently they had a huge lake reservoir for storing freshwater that was then used to fill the locks in the canal. And then subsequently release into the ocean.
They haven't gotten the usual rainfall and this is causing serious issues.
