Summary
[edit]DescriptionSevere drought affecting Argentina.jpg |
English: A severe drought is currently gripping Argentina with some of the driest conditions experienced in 30 years. Grave consequences are expected to be felt in the agricultural sector. In fact, the corn planting season is approaching, but the extreme dryness of the soil has forced farmers to stall seeding activities, putting the 2023 harvest at risk. The consequences of water scarcity in the Pampas plains near Buenos Aires are visible when comparing these two images acquired by Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites in September 2018 (above) and September 2022 (below). 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). |
