Summary[edit]

Description
English: Droughts on the US West Coast continue to worsen. According to data from the California Department of Water Resources, many reservoirs are at the lowest level ever recorded for these bodies of water. These two images, acquired by a Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite on 5 March (left) and 26 September 2021 (right) provide evidence of the decrease in Lake Oroville's water level, which in March was at 54% of its capacity and at the end of September was at only 22%. Data from Copernicus missions provide information that can be used to accurately map bodies of water and extract critical information during periods of drought.
