✦ Suggested by OrionAIThis map illustrates satellite-detected standing water over the Cochabamba department in Bolivia, as of the 10 February 2018, following the heavy rainfalls that caused severe flooding in the area. The analysis was conducted using Sentinel -1b and Radarsat-2 images as of 9, 10 and 12 February 2018 respectively. UNITAR-UNOSAT identified in the analyzed area of the Cochabamba Department, around 1,300 Ha of land seem to be inundated, which almost 35% ,450 Ha, are in the province of Punata. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR UNOSAT.
This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface water extent over D’joumane/Bongor and surroundings in Chad along the Logone River as observed from the Radarsat-2 SAR image acquired on 5 October 2017. The analysis of the image indicate that localized standing flood water with very little impact on population and agriculture area. Within the analyzed area (11,680 km2), 15,331 ha of surface water extent was observed of which 6667 ha in Chad and 8664 ha in Cameroon. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
**UNOSAT code: FL20191017CMR** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water in Mayo-Danay and Logone-et-Chari Department, Far-North Region of Cameroon as observed from Sentinel-2 imagery acquired on 16 October 2019. Within the analysed extent of about 2,500 km2, a total about 211 km2 of land 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.
**UNOSAT code: FL20191017CMR** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water in Mayo-Danay and Logone-et-Chari Department, Far-North Region of Cameroon as observed from Sentinel-2 imagery acquired on 11 October 2019. Within the analysed extent of about 7,200 km2, a total about 1,500 km2 of land appear to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

This map illustrates satellite-detected possible flood water & saturated soil over Sennar State, extracted from Radarsar-2 imagery acquired 12 August 2016. UNOSAT has analysed the area using a Radarsat-2 image acquired on 12 August 2016 to identify and delineate the Possible Flood Water & Saturated / Wet Soil. According to satellite derived analysis some areas within Sennar State seem to be flooded. In addition, and the Blue Nile increased its size especially in the right bank, without apparently causing floods inside build up areas.The exact limit of flood waters is uncertain because of the low spatial resolution of the satellite data used for this analysis. Detected water bodies likely reflect an underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field.

This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters extent in Ho Chi Minh City area and surroundings, as observed from the Radarsat-2 SAR image acquired on 18 December 2017. In the analysed area (~3000 km2) about 5,400 ha of lands, mainly agricultural and paddy fields are likely flooded. In addition, using WorldPop data, we can estimate that ~220,000 people are living within flooded areas. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
