The lake has not swelled in the summer of 2022. A prolonged heat wave and drought across much of the Yangtze River Basin dried the lake out early and pushed water levels to lows not seen in decades.
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired these pairs of images on July 10, 2022 (left images), and August 27, 2022 (right images). The images are composites, and combine OLI observations of shortwave infrared, near infrared, and visible light. The highest water levels of the year on Poyang Lake occurred on June 23 (as measured at the Xingzi Station). After that, high temperatures and a lack of rain caused the lake to drop rapidly, according to the Jiangxi Hydrological Monitoring Center. By Au
