Floods in Western Australia

These images captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission show the result of the floods brought on by heavy rainfall that hit Western Australia in late 2020. The image on the left was captured on 11 November 2020, while the image on the right was taken around a month later, on 16 December 2020.

The heavy rain caused a large amount of sediment to be discharged into the King Sound gulf, as seen in dark shades of brown which contrast with the clearer, turquoise-coloured waters visible at the top.
