Within the analyzed area of approximately 600 km², about 20 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. Based on WorldPop population data and the flood extent, approximately 1,800 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). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal</dc:description><dc:identifier>water-extents-in-pakkading-district-bolikhamxai-province-lao-pdr-as-of-23-july-2025</dc:identifier><dc:publisher>Humanitarian Data Exchange</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Satellite detected water extents in Pakkading District, Bolikhamxai Province Lao PDR as of 23 July 2025</dc:title><dc:type>Datasets</dc:type><dc:coverage>Lao People's Democratic Republic</dc:coverage><dc:date>2025-07-24</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
