Satellite Detected Waters Over Khartoum Area, Khartoum State, Sudan

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 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: 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.

**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.

**UNOSAT code: FL20240826SDN, GDACS ID: 1102854** This map illustrates satellite-detected water extents Khartoum, White Nile, Aj Jazirah and Sennar States, Sudan as observed from a Sentinel-2 image acquired on 8 September 2024 at 08:06 UTC. Within the analysed area of about 80,000 km², a total of about 6,500 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Based on Worldpop population data and the flood extent, approximately 800,000 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 the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT).

**UNOSAT code: FL20241224SDN** This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in Khartoum and White Nile States, Sudan, as observed from a Sentinel-2 satellite image acquired on 1 January 2025 at 10:13 local time (08:13 UTC). Within the analyzed area of approximately 24,000 km², about 145 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Floodwater extent seems to have increased by about 5 km² compared to 27 December 2024. Based on WorldPop population data and the flood extent, approximately 63,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to the 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).
