Title
Satellite detected waters extents, as of 15 December 2019 over Pahang State of Malaysia
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20191217MYS** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface water in Kluang and Mersing District, Johor State and Rompin District, Pahang State of Malaysia as observed from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 15 December 2019. Within the analysed extent of about 3,500 km2, a total about 23 km2 of land appear to be flooded. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT. Important Note: Flood analysis from Sentinel-1 imagery acquired on 15 December 2019 may seriously underestimate the presence of standing floodwater in built-up areas due to backscattering of the radar signal
