Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The list of European countries heavily afflicted by drought is getting longer. On 3 August, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management officialised the water shortage condition in the country. The situation, which currently does not affect drinking water, will cause a redistribution of water to ensuring water supply to the dykes, the peat begs and very vulnerable natural areas. Another cause for concern is the level of the Rhine River. Measurements at the beginning of August in Lobith, a town on the German border, showed that the river is approaching its lowest flow level ever recorded. These images, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 5 August 2021 (left) and 3 August 2022 (right), show the effects of water scarcity o the Rhine river, near Gendt in the Netherlands. Updated data on the ongoing drought conditions in Europe are published by the Copernicus EMS European Drought Observatory.
