Due to the worst drought in 30 years the isthmus is visible also from space.📸 Copernicus Sentinel2 - Feb. 15th.
Italy’s rivers and lakes are facing another year of severe drought after a winter of little rain and snowfall, raising the alarm on the implications for farming, hydropower and access to drinking water.
Vast areas of the Po – the country’s longest river that nourishes several northern and central regions – are already parched, while the water level on Lake Garda is the lowest during winter in 35 years.
How much water is currently in Lake Garda?
Here you will find the current water level and a comparison of the historical water levels of the last few years. It is important to know that a level of "0" does not mean that there is no more water in the lake. Lake Garda is known to be 346 m deep. The water level "0" is set individually in each body of water slightly below the long-term measured lows.
Current water level on February 18, 2023: 44 cm
