Summary
editDescriptionThe effects of the drought in Extremadura, Spain.jpg |
English: Spain is one of the EU Member States that is most severely affected by the consequences of the historic drought in Europe. In Extremadura, one of the most impacted regions, 15 reservoirs are in an 'emergency state', and numerous water rationing measures are being imposed. The damage to agriculture is considerable due to the water scarcity. In the Vegas Altas valley, an area with a strong agricultural activity located east of Merida, crops have been decimated. The comparison between these two images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites shows that in 2022 the dominant colour in the area is brown, a symptom of the absence of agricultural planting. In contrast, in 2021, green predominated in the area, indicative of a healthy vegetation. |
