Po River, the longest river in Italy, is hitting record low water levels after months without heavy rainfall. Satellite pictures show a part of Po Valley, near Piacenza, and reveal how the river has significantly shrunk between June 2020-2022. The river is normally a wide stretch of murky water but has now dried up with large expanses of sand exposed.
