Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired on 13 March 2023 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows the flooded areas along the border between Queensland and the Northern Territory, Australia. The gauges along the Georgina River have peaked at 3.5 metres, causing water to flood nearby areas, creating a crisis for graziers and cattle owners. The residents of the town of Urandangi have been evacuated, and some properties remain underwater. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites provide valuable data to identify and delineate the extent of affected areas when a flood occurs and to monitor the consequences of such disastrous events.
