Summary[edit]

Description
English: The French Pyrénées-Orientales department, which borders Spain’s Catalonia autonomous region, will be officially declared to be at drought "crisis" level from 10 May 2023, when bans on car-washing, garden-watering, and pool-filling will also come into effect. This first set of water restrictions is an effort to conserve water resources and prioritises drinking water above other usages. There are currently over 40 “départements” in France, amounting to nearly half the country, which are officially at "alert" or "vigilance" levels of drought. The Pyrénées-Orientales will become the fourth district to declare a "crisis" drought level. This image, acquired by a Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 2 May, shows Perpignan, one of the most affected cities. The Copernicus product portfolio includes two Drought Observatories, managed by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, which provide, respectively, drought indicators and early warning for droughts in Europe (EDO) and worldwide (GDO).
