Guatemala 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: TC20201119GTM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Petén department of Guatemala as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 18 November 2020 at 18:06 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 3,400 km2, a total of about 100 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. 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 UNITAR-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.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201119GTM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Peten, Alta Verapaz and Quiche departments of Guatemala & Chiapas state of Mexico as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 22 November 2020 at 05:53 Local time. Within the analyzed area of about 10,000 km2, a total of about 380 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 24,000 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 UNITAR-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.
