Satellite detected water extent over Lumbini and Sudurpaschim Provinces, Nepal as of 15 October 2022

**UNOSAT code FL20221117NPL** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Sudurpaschim and Lumbini Provinces, Nepal as observed from Sentinel-2 images acquired on 25 & 30 October 2022 (Cumulative). Within the analyzed area of about 5,600 km², a combined 52 km² of lands appear to be flooded on the 25th and the 30th of October 2022. Water extent appears to have decreased of about 37 km² since the 15th October 2022. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 23,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas, of which 10,000 are located In Janaki, Tikapur, Geruwa, Rajapur, Thakurbaba & Madhuwan Palikas. 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).

**UNOSAT code: FL20240928NPL** This map illustrates the floods using Sentinel-2 images acquired on 01 & 06 October 2024 at 10:42 local time (04:57 UTC). Within the analysed area of about 18,000 km², a total of about 300 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 115,000 people are 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 the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

**UNOSAT code FL20221117NPL** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Banke District, Lumbini Province, Nepal as observed from Sentinel-2 images acquired on 25 & 30 October 2022 (Cumulative). Within the analyzed area of about 4,000 km², a combined 33 km² of lands appear to be flooded on the 25th and the 30th of October 2022. Water extent appears to have decreased of about 26 km² since the 15th October 2022. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 1,400 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas, of which 1,400 are located in Duduwa and Narainapur Palikas. 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).

**UNOSAT code: FL20210630NPL** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Province 1 and 2 as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 1 July 2021 at 05:58 local time and using an automated analysis with Artificial Intelligence based methods. Within the analyzed area of about 110,000 km2 and, about 645km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters in the analyzed area, about 700,000 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.

**UNOSAT code: FL20200708NPL** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Province 2 of Nepal as observed from a Radarsat-2 image acquired on 14 July 2020 due to the current monsoon rains. Within the analyzed area of about 2,000 km2, a total of about 50 km2 of lands 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. 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: FL20200708NPL** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Province 2 of Nepal as observed from a TerraSAR-X image acquired on 12 July 2020 due to the current monsoon rains. Within the analyzed area of about 900 km2, a total of about 35 km2 of lands 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. 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.
