Satellite images indicate that the Doñana Marshland will disappear within 60 years
The Doñana National Park, considered one of Europe's most valuable wetlands, is expected to lose its marshland in 61 years, according to calculations from a major water-resource monitoring study carried out by the University of Seville. The study has developed an innovative algorithm, based on machine learning, capable of detecting the presence of surface water with high precision using images from the Sentinel-2 satellite.
The Doñana National Park has reached a historical record of rainfall by registering 582 liters per square metre at the Ifapa Agroclimatic Station located in the north of El Rocío, a figure that was not obtained since the 2009-2010 hydrological cycle. The satellite images captured this Saturday show the almost completely flooded marsh, with water levels that reach 90 centimeters at some points.This event marks a turning point for the most importa…
Huelva.- The Natural Space of Doñana presents this month of February a level of flooding that affects almost all of its marsh, after, according to the records of the Agroclimatic Station of the IFAPA, precipitation has reached 582 l/m2, a figure that has not been exceeded in the area since the period 2009/2010. The images captured by the Sentinel-2 satellite last February 14 confirm, according to the Natural Space of Doñana (END), that the water…
Water is life, and even more so in the Doñana Natural Park, where the marshes are vital for sheltering hundreds of migratory bird species between Africa and Europe, as well as being home to the Iberian lynx. It is the most important wetland on the continent and, after overcoming an intense five-year drought, it has regained its completely flooded appearance following the heavy rainfall this winter in Andalusia.

Water.- Doñana is almost completely flooded after 582 liters/m2 are recorded in El Rocío, a figure not seen since 2010. DOÑANA NATURAL AREA. The Doñana marshes are almost completely flooded after recording 582 liters per square meter at the El Rocío station, a rainfall figure not seen since the 2009-2010 hydrological cycle. A satellite image taken on February 14 by Sentinel-2 shows the extent of the water in the natural park, the result of a hyd…
An image captured by the Sentinel-2 satellite last February 14 reveals that the marsh of the Doñana Natural Space is "almost completely" flooded, in a context that the authorities qualify as a "positive" hydrological year for the park. The snapshot, spread on social networks, shows that only the highest-altitude veins remain without water.
