Summary edit

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 16 July 2021, shows Lake Pozzillo in Sicily (Italy). Lake Pozzillo is one of the largest water bodies in Sicily. As all other water bodies in the island, it is confronted with the worst drought of the last decade. According to the Osservatorio ANBI, in July 2021 only 443 million cubic metres are available in Sicily's reservoirs, which represents 78 million cubic metres less water with respect to 2020. The volume of Lake Pozzillo at the beginning of July 2021 stood at 23 million m3, about 15% of its maximum capacity and 25% below the volume available in the basin at the same time in 2020. 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 (EDO) and worldwide (GDO).
