✦ Suggested by OrionAIThis 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 waters around the Khartoum City in Sudan as detected in satellite imagery acquired by the TerraSAR-X satellite on 11 August 2016 in Khartoum State. UNOSAT analysis shows an expansion of water of~ 90Km2 (over the analysed area) particularly located in the left bank of White Nile without 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 Khartoum State, Sudan as observed from SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 28 August 2019. Within the analysed extent of about 3,200 km2, a total about 97 km2 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. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.
This map illustrates satellite-detected possible flood water & saturated soil over Abu Hamad area in River Nile State, Sudan, extracted from Spot-6 imagery of 14 August 2016. UNOSAT analysis shows an increase of floods water / saturated soil around Nileside west and Abu Tin areas. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field.

**UNOSAT code: FL20190815SDN** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water in Khartoum, EI Gazira and White Nile State, Sudan as observed from Sentinel-2 imagery acquired on 16 August 2019. Within the analysed extent of about 41,600 sq km, a total about 2,061 sq km of lands appear to be flooded as of 16 August 2019. This is a preliminary analysis and 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.
