Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Hierdie beeld wat deur die Copernicus Sentinel-2-sending vasgevang is toon plase langs die Krokodilrivier in die oostelike deel van Mpumalanga-provinsie, Suid-Afrika. Boere wat suikerriet en vars vrugte verbou, onttrek hul gewasse se besproeiingswater uit die rivier, en laat minder oor vir diegene wat stroomaf woon. In reaksie op ernstige watertekorte het die Suid-Afrikaanse regering die Nasionale Waterwet van 1998 deurgevoer, wat ten doel het om die hoeveelheid water wat boere vir besproeiing gebruik, te beperk.
English: Captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, this image shows farms next to the Crocodile River in eastern part of Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. Farmers growing sugar cane and fresh fruit take water from the river to irrigate their crops, leaving less for those people living downstream. In response to severe water shortages, the South African government passed the National Water Act of 1998, which is intended to restrict the amount of water farmers use for irrigation. |
