Summary
editDescriptionDrought in Andalusia in April 2023.jpg |
English: Drought continues to grip Spain. One of the most affected areas is Andalusia, particularly in the area of the Guadalquivir River Basin. The reservoirs in the basin are currently at a low capacity of 25.5%, which is 36.5% below the average of the last 25 years. This has resulted from consecutive years of high temperatures and low rainfall, which are having a significant impact on the agricultural industry and on biodiversity in the area. As shown in these two Copernicus Sentinel-2 images acquired on 16 April 2022 (up), and 11 April 2023 (down), agriculture in the area has suffered significant damage. The absence of vegetation is striking in the 2023 image. The impact of the drought has also extended to the Doñana National Park. In the image of 2023, the permanent water bodies in the park appear dry, posing a threat to the survival of the wildlife that relies on these water sources. The European Drought Observatory of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service allows to monitor of drought conditions across Europe and provides early warning information for potential drought-related issues. |
