Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 27 November 2021, shows the Paraná River near Corrientes in Argentina. The basin that feeds the Parana River is facing one of the worst droughts in decades. According to the Institute of Water and Environment of Argentina, the level of the river continues to fall due to the absence of rain. According to the latest measurements in Corrientes, the level of the Paraná River in the last week of November 2021 was 2.64 metres below the monthly November average of the last 25 years. With an average revisit time of five days at the equator, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites provide free and open data that can be used to monitor droughts and their impact on ecosystems.
