About this dataset

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.

Documentation

UNOSAT datasets and maps are produced using a variety of methods. In general, analysts closely review satellite imagery, often comparing two or more images together, and determine notable changes between the images. For damage assessments, refugee or IDP assessments, and similar analyses, these changes are then manually documented in the vector data by the analyst. For flood extractions, landcover mapping and similar analyses, a variety of automated remote sensing techniques are used to extract the relevant information which is then reviewed and revised as necessary by the analyst. In all cases, resulting data is then loaded into a standardized UNOSAT geodatabase and exported asshapefiles for dissemination. This is a preliminary assessment and has not yet been validated in the field. It is important to consider the characteristics of the source imagery used in the analyses when interpreting results. For damage assessments it should be noted that only significant damage to the structural integrity of the buildings analyzed can be seen in imagery, while minor damage such as cracks or holes may not be visible at all. For flood extractions using radar data it is important to note that urban areas and highly vegetated areas may mask the flood signature and result in underestimation of flood waters. Users with specific questions or concerns should contact unosat@unitar.org to seek clarification.

Satellite detected water extents between 30 October and 03 November 2022 over Chad

**UNOSAT code FL20221019TCD** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in Chad between 30 October to 03 November 2022 compared with the period from 14 to 18 October 2022. Within the cloud free analysed areas of about 1,200,000 km², a total of about 18,000 km² of land appears to be affected. Water extent appears to have decreased of about 6,300 km² since the period between 14 to 18 October 2022. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~1 million people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas amongst the 16.5 million people living in the analysed zone. 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).
