Title
Satellite detected water along Tana River, Bura ub county, Tana River county, Kenya
Description
This map illustrates satellite-detected flood water extent along Tana River, Bura Sub County, Kenya. The analysis was conducted analyzing Sentinel-1 image acquired on the 4 May 2018. The analysis extent is focused on the river bed of Tana and the surrounding land between the primary road and the limit of the Tana River boundary, specifically were the population is concentrated. Within the analysis extent, more than 9,100 ha of land appear to be inundated and more than 9,800 people are living inside this flood water extent. 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.
