15.08.2014(FILES) This undated file photo shows the building of the Gatun Dam on the Chagres River, Panama, which would create Gatun Lake in the northern section of the Panama Canal. The US took over construction of the canal in 1904 and in the first year met with bureaucracy, bad living conditions and disease. Next August 15 marks the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal, considered to be one of the 20th century's marvels of engineering and through which goes five percent of the maritime world trade. Panama took control of the 80-km-long canal and the 1,426-square-km enclave that surrounds it at midnight on December 31, 1999 according to the 1977 handover treaty signed by then-presidents of the US, Jimmy Carter and Panama, Omar Torrijos.
