Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Various drought events are affecting Europe and the rest of the world. Mexico is going through a historic water shortage caused by the drought that is currently gripping the country. In Monterrey, the capital of the north-eastern Mexican state of Nuevo León, home to more than one million inhabitants, water rationing has been enacted. According to the media, some disadvantaged neighbourhoods have not had running water in their faucets for 50 days. These images were acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 8 July 2022 and show the city of Monterrey and the La Boca reservoir, one of the main sources of water supply for the city. The ongoing drought conditions have caused a severe water deficit in the reservoir, which is now almost completely dry. The yellow outline in the image indicates the surface of the La Boca reservoir at full capacity. Open data retrieved from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites provide key information which useful to accurately map water bodies and extract critical information during periods of drought.
