Satellite detected water extents between 28 August & 4 September 2024 in Bangladesh

**UNOSAT code: FL20240502BGD, GDACS ID: 1102700** This map illustrates the aggregated floods using Sentinel-1 images acquired between 22 to 29 June 2024 and between 4 to 11 July 2024 using an automated analysis with machine learning method. Within the analysed area of about 140,000 km², a total of about 8,700 km² of land appear to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 7.7 million people are exposed or living close to flooded areas. Between these two periods, the floodwaters have increased about 2,900 km2. The increase has been mainly observed within Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions accordingly. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal.

**UNOSAT code: FL20240502BGD, GDACS ID: 1102700** This map illustrates the aggregated floods using Sentinel-1 images acquired between 16 to 23 July 2024 and between 4 to 11 July 2024 using an automated analysis with a machine learning method. Within the analysed area of about 140,000 km², a total of about 8,530 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 8 million people are exposed or living close to flooded areas. Between these two periods, the floodwaters have increased about 130 km2. The increase has been mainly observed within the Rajshahi, Sylhet, Rangpur and Dhaka divisions accordingly. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal.

**UNOSAT code: FL20220525BGD** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Sylhet, Mymensingh, Dhaka, and Chattogram Divisions, Bangladesh as observed from a Sentinel-1 images acquired on 26 May 2022 at 05:47 local time and using an automated analysis with machine learning method. Within the analyzed area of about 16,000 km2, about 6,800 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. In this area, about 5,400 km2 of croplands and 1,270 km2 of herbaceous wetland appear to be likely affected by the flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters in the analyzed area, the potentially exposed population is mainly located in the district of Sunamganj with ~1,700,000 people and Sylhet with ~1,400,000 people. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

**UNOSAT code: FL20220525BGD** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Sylhet, Mymensingh, Dhaka, and Chattogram Divisions, Bangladesh as observed from a Sentinel-1 images acquired on 28 May 2022 at 18:04 local time and using an automated analysis with machine learning method. Within the analyzed area of about 12,000 km2, about 4,500 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. In this area, about 3,400 km2 of croplands and 1,000 km2 of herbaceous wetland appear to be likely affected by the flood waters. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters in the analyzed area, the potentially exposed population is mainly located in the district of Sunamganj with ~935,000 people and Kishoreganj with ~779,000 people. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

**UNOSAT code: FL20200713BGD** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in the central parts of Bangladesh as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 19 July 2020 and 13 July 2020. Within the analyzed area of about 40,000 km2, a total of about 8,700 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT. Important Note: Flood analysis from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 19 July 2020 and 13 July 2020 may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.

This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water extent in the central and southern parts of Bangladesh using a Sentinel-1 satellite image acquired on the 22 August 2017. In the analysed area; 608,747 ha of lands are likely affected. These lands are mainly cropland irrigated and rainfed areas and estimated to 475,000 ha. The population exposure analysis using WorldPop data shows that ~6,400,000 people are potentially affected by floods in the analysed zone: ~2,300,000 are located in Chittagong Division and ~2,170,000 in Dhaka Division. Please note that for visualization purposesanalyzed area is wider than the extent of this map. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
