Cuba water data

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 TC20221001CUB, GDACS Id: 1000923** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Pinar del Río province, Cuba as observed from a Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 28 September 2022 at 07:27 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 1,300 km², a total of about 27 km² of lands appear to be affected with flood waters amongst which 13 km² are flooded croplands. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 4,200 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to 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 backscattering properties of the radar signal.
