Sudan - Possible Flood Water & Saturated Soil over Abu Hamad Area, River Nile State

This map illustrates satellite-detected possible flood water & saturated soil over Khartoum City in Suda nextracted from SPOT-7 imagery on 15 August 2016 in Khartoum State. UNOSAT analysis shows, an expansion of possible flood water and saturated soil over areas particulary located on right bank of the Blue Nile and White Nile, without causing floods inside build up areas. Detected water bodies likely reflect an underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FL20240826SDN, GDACS ID: 1102854** This map illustrates satellite-detected water extent in Abu Hamad Locality, River Nile State, Sudan as observed from a Sentinel-2 satellite image acquired on 19 August 2024 at 10:06 local time (08:06 UTC). Within analysed area of about 1,800 km², a total of about 28 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Based on Worldpop population data and the flood extent, approximately 400 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 the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT)

This map illustrates evolution of satellite detected waters over the central part of Khartoum City, Sudan, extracted from TerraSAR-X imagery (3 m) acquired on 11 August 2016 and SPOT-7 on 15 August 2016 (1.5 m). During this period, it has been observed that the water expansion is predominantly located in areas along Nile river banks. Additionally, the analysis carried out by UNITAR-UNOSAT also shows water expansion on the right bank of the Blue Nile and on the left and right banks of the White Nile. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

This map illustrates satellite-detected possible flood water & saturated soil over Sennar State, extracted from Radarsar-2 imagery acquired 12 August 2016. UNOSAT has analysed the area using a Radarsat-2 image acquired on 12 August 2016 to identify and delineate the Possible Flood Water & Saturated / Wet Soil. According to satellite derived analysis some areas within Sennar State seem to be flooded. In addition, and the Blue Nile increased its size especially in the right bank, without apparently causing floods inside build up areas.The exact limit of flood waters is uncertain because of the low spatial resolution of the satellite data used for this analysis. Detected water bodies likely reflect an underestimation of all flood-affected areas within the map extent. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

**UNOSAT code: FL20190815SDN** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water in White Nile District, Sudan as observed from SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 28 August 2019. Within the analysed area of about 240 sq km, a total 35 sq km of lands appear to be flooded as of 28 August 2019. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.
