Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Three Gorges Dam.jpg |
English: Severe floods hit China, leaving at least 150 people dead between June and the first week of July 2020. Unusually intense rainfall swept away buildings and destroyed homes in southern provinces, affecting about 15 million residents. Rains in the Yangtze River basin were particularly intense and the Three Gorges Dam, located along the Yangtze River, reached its peak capacity on 2 July, luckily, without reaching its full storage capacity. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 9 July, shows the Three Gorges Dam discharge still present an entire week after the peak of the Yangtze River flow. Data obtained by the Copernicus Sentinel satellite missions allows us to monitor, with very high precision, the quality and volume of water contained within dams, as well as make assessments of the structural stability of these dams. |
