Al Wahat al Dakhla Desert, Egypt

This series of Copernicus Sentinel-2 images shows part of the Al Wahat al Dakhla Desert in Egypt, spanning from 29 November 2022 to 18 April 2023. The circular shapes in the image are an example of centre-pivot irrigation systems, where equipment rotates around a central pivot and crops are watered with sprinklers. This type of irrigation helps farmers manage their watering demands as well as help conserve their precious water sources.
