Summary
Description OrovilleReservoir.jpg |
English:
The Oroville reservoir, formed by the eponym dam, which ranks among the tallest in the United States, is the second-largest reservoir in California. In recent years, it faced significant challenges due to prolonged and severe drought conditions. The persistent dry spells caused the reservoir to reach alarmingly low water levels. However, it has finally rebounded and now stands at 98% of its capacity, according to the California Department of Water Resources.
This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, shows the Oroville reservoir on 29 May 2023.
