The drought in Spain has severely affected the Sierra Boyera reservoir in the Cordoba province of Andalusia.
At the beginning of March, the reservoir was at only 1.3% of its total capacity. As seen in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image acquired on 1 April, the reservoir remains completely empty, causing severe consequences for the local flora and fauna.
Copernicus is dedicated to monitoring such natural disasters and providing valuable data to monitor the impact of droughts on water resources and ecosystems.
