Summary

edit
Description
English: The hydrological situation has recently been worsening in Spain due to poor rainfall. According to the Spanish meteorology and climatology State Agency, 2022 has started as the second driest year of the 21st century. Droughts have severe impacts on the landscape and the agriculture of the region: the current meteorological conditions threaten to ruin this season’s crops which are exported across Europe. This image, captured by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 10 February 2022, shows the Almendra reservoir in the Castilla y León autonomous region, the third-largest reservoir in Spain, which is currently at only 35.9% of its capacity. The Copernicus product portfolio includes two Drought Observatories, managed by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, which provide drought indicators and early warning for droughts in Europe and worldwide.
