Niger water data

This dataset contains data about water points in Fakara and Ngonga District in Niger. The field data was collected as part of the open map grant to support mapping water infrastructure and functionality in the Sahel Region. The data contains information about water usage, location of water points, types of water points, cost of accessing water (with a fee or not), operational status and operator. This theme includes all OpenStreetMap features in this area matching ( Learn what tags means here ) : tags['amenity'] = 'drinking_water' Features may have these attributes: - access - addr:city - addr:district - addr:place - amenity - description - fee - man_made - opening_hours - operational_status - operator:type - ownership - seasonal - source - usage - water:condition This dataset is one of many OpenStreetMap exports on HDX. See the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team website for more information.

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: FL20210908NER** This map illustrates the extent of surface waters (cumulative) in Dosso, Niamey, Tahoua and Tillaberi regions of Niger as detected by VIIRS-NOAA satellite between the 3rd & the 7th of September 2021. Within the analyzed cloud free zones of about 230,000 km2, a total of about 310 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 45,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. The potentially exposed population is mainly located in the region of Dosso with ~26,700 people, Tillabéri with ~10,900 people and Tahoua with ~6,600 people. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

Within the analyzed cloud free zones of about 260,000 km2, a total of about 900 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 120,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. The potentially exposed population is mainly located in the region of Dosso with ~40,000 people, Tillabéri with ~40,000 people and Tahoua with ~22,200 people.

**UNOSAT code: FL20210908NER** This map illustrates the extent of surface waters in Aderbissinat, Ingall & Tchirozerine departments, Agadez Region as observed from a Sentinel-2 acquired on 05 August 2021. Within the analyzed area of about 16,000 km2, 150 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 1,800 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas.
