Northern Italy is facing worrying drought conditions.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Northern Italy is facing worrying drought conditions. The Po River, Italy's longest river, reached its lowest level ever recorded in April, while water levels in Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake shown in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image of 16 April, plummeted to their lowest point since 1953. This drop puts water in Lake Garda only 45.8 cm above the hydrometric zero, compared to the 70-year average of 109 cm. As a crucial freshwater reservoir, the current capacity of Lake Garda puts at risk its ability to sustain agriculture, local communities, tourism and navigation. The Copernicus European Drought Observatory enables accurate monitoring of drought conditions, providing key data for informed decision-making and effective resource management.
