Uncovering the impact of Taiwan’s drought on critical water resources through satellite data
Taiwan is usually one of the rainiest places on the planet. However, for the past year little rain has fallen, consequently resulting in the worst drought on the island for the last 56 years. Many water reservoirs throughout the country are falling below 20 % capacity, while some are at less than 10 % and in danger of drying up.
