Summary
[edit]DescriptionSevere drought continues in South America.jpg |
English: A severe drought continues to plague South America as a result of the ongoing La Niña climate phenomenon. In Argentina, predictions indicate that the harvest could decrease by 50% in 2023 due to a lack of precipitation. Uruguay has also been heavily affected by the drought, with some regions only having to rely on only 10% of their usual water supply. These two images, acquired by Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, show the impact of the drought on the Paraná River basin region in January 2022 (left) and January 2023 (right). The Copernicus Emergency Management Service runs the Global Drought Observatory, which provides information on the state of drought in South America. Additional information are available here. |
