This is an incredibly stupid question, but I’d really like to know what the consequences of a project like this would be given the current drought in the lake that feeds the canal.

There was a [proposal in the 1950s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare) to blast a sea-level canal through Nicaragua using atomic bombs. This was part of an “atoms for peace” program. I think it probably wasn’t practical, and probably wasn’t popular with people living in the area. In any case, the project didn’t proceed.
