Sometimes what appears to be impermeable, can suddenly become permeable.
The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 created the first salt-water passage between the Mediterranean and Red seas. It allows water transportation between Europe and Asia without navigating around Africa, through an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt. It contains no locks: seawater flows freely through the canal. In general, the Canal north of the Bitter Lakes flows north in winter and south in summer.
