Title
Satellite Detected Water over Belet Weyne & Bulo Burto Districts, Hiraan Region, Somalia
Description
This map illustrates satellite-detected flood water extent over Booco and Hagan areas, Hiraan region, Somalia using a Radarsat-2 image acquired on 09 May 2018. Within the extent of the map about 4,000 ha of land appear to be inundated and according to WorldPop data, ~22,000 people, live within the extent of this map about 6,500 within 100 meters distance from the flooded areas which corresponds to about 30% of population in this zone. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR UNOSAT.
