Water features across the area: rivers, streams, canals, lakes, ponds, and water bodies tagged with `waterway`, `water`, or `natural=water`. Useful for flood-risk modelling, watershed analysis, and environmental basemap context. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: waterway, water, natural - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

**UNOSAT code: FL20250220BWA, GDACS ID: 1103128** This map illustrates the satellite-detected accumulated flood extent in Gaborone, South East District, Botswana, as observed from Planet imagery and very high-resolution Pleiades imagery acquired between 23 and 25 February 2025. Within the analyzed area of approximately 700 km², an estimated 30 km² appears to be affected by floodwaters. UNITAR-UNOSAT has identified around 900 potentially affected structures, along with 24 affected road segments and 10 affected bridges within the analyzed area. 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).
