Title
Satellite detected water extents between 04 and 08 October 2022 over South Sudan
Description
**UNOSAT code FL20220424SSD** This map illustrates cumulative satellite-detected water using VIIRS in South Sudan between 04 to 08 October 2022 compared with the period from 10 to 14 September 2022. Within the cloud free analyzed areas of about 620,000 km², a total of about 48,000 km² of lands appear to be affected with flood waters in which ~16,500 km² are herbaceous wetlands. Water extent appears to have increased of about 18,000 km² since the period between 10 to 14 September 2022. Based on Worldpop population data and the maximal flood water extent ~940,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. By considering the maximal flood water extent and landcover from ESA we estimate to ~16,500 ha of croplands which are potentially affected by floods. 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).
