To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to add the two values: the initial water level and the drop during summer.

Initial water level: 1 1/2 meters below sea level
Drop during summer: 2 1/3 meters below sea level

To add these two values, we need to have the same denominator.

1 1/2 = (2/2 + 1/2) = 3/2
2 1/3 = (6/3 + 1/3) = 7/3

Now we can add the two fractions:

3/2 + 7/3 = (9/6 + 14/6) = 23/6

Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 23/6 meters below sea level.
Answer
-23/6 because below sea level means it is in the negatives. Or it can be -3 5/6
