About this dataset

**UNOSAT code FL20230606UKR** This map illustrates satellite-detected water using Sentinel-2 image acquired on the 15th of July 2023 and compared with the water extent between the 03rd and the 05th of July 2023 after the Nova Kakhovka dam wall break of the 06th of June 2023. Within the analysed area of 25,000 km², surface waters appear to have receded by about 100 km² in cloud free zone since the 5th of July 2023. No major changes observed in water level of the cooling pond of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant as of 15 July 2023 compared to 5 July 2023. 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).

Documentation

UNOSAT datasets and maps are produced using a variety of methods. In general, analysts closely review satellite imagery, often comparing two or more images together, and determine notable changes between the images. For damage assessments, refugee or IDP assessments, and similar analyses, these changes are then manually documented in the vector data by the analyst. For flood extractions, landcover mapping and similar analyses, a variety of automated remote sensing techniques are used to extract the relevant information which is then reviewed and revised as necessary by the analyst. In all cases, resulting data is then loaded into a standardized UNOSAT geodatabase and exported asshapefiles for dissemination. This is a preliminary assessment and has not yet been validated in the field. It is important to consider the characteristics of the source imagery used in the analyses when interpreting results. For damage assessments it should be noted that only significant damage to the structural integrity of the buildings analyzed can be seen in imagery, while minor damage such as cracks or holes may not be visible at all. For flood extractions using radar data it is important to note that urban areas and highly vegetated areas may mask the flood signature and result in underestimation of flood waters. Users with specific questions or concerns should contact unosat@unitar.org to seek clarification.
