Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Most of France is suffering the consequences of an extreme drought. After an exceptionally dry and hot spring, water levels in rivers and reservoirs are very low, forcing French authorities to impose water restriction measures: 90 out of the 96 administrative “départments” are currently affected. These measures have severely impacted various aspect of everyday life and the economy of the country, such as the agriculture and hydro-power sectors. Evidence of the ongoing widespread drought is provided by these two images, acquired just one year apart by Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, on 21 July 2021 and 22 July 2022. The Copernicus product portfolio includes two Drought Observatories, managed by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), which provide drought indicators and early warning for droughts in Europe and worldwide.
