Summary

Description
English: The Menindee Lakes are a system of 9 lakes in New South Wales, Australia, comprised of four main lakes – Lake Menindee, Lake Wetherell, Lake Pamamaroo and Lake Cawndilla – and several smaller ones, located on the Darling River.

Long periods of drought and extended low flow of the river often cause the lakes to run dry. However, due to the intense rain episodes associated with the latest La Niña event, the lakes are now finally refilling. According to the Murray-Darling Basin Authority data, on 2 May 2022, the lakes reached one of the highest levels recorded in the last 10 years.

Their status is visible in this image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 Satellites on 3 May 2022.
