Summary
[edit]DescriptionCalifornia’s Lake Oroville affected by a severe drought (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 3 June 2021, shows Lake Oroville in California. Lake Oroville is a reservoir that provides irrigation to about a quarter of the agricultural fields in northern California. Due to the extreme drought that is plaguing the entire state, its level is now only at 39% of its capacity - about 46% of its historical average. In addition to Oroville, California's other reservoirs are also confronted with severe drought. Since the beginning of May, a state of emergency drought has been declared for 41 of the state's 58 counties. Data from Copernicus missions provide information that can be used to accurately map water bodies and extract critical information during periods of drought. |
