Within the analysed area of about 20,000 km², a total of about 110 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 58,000 people are exposed or living close to 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-extent-in-gandaki-lumbini-bagmati-and-madhesh-provinces-as-of-29-september-2024</dc:identifier><dc:publisher>Humanitarian Data Exchange</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Satellite detected water extent in Gandaki, Lumbini, Bagmati and Madhesh Provinces as of 29 September 2024</dc:title><dc:type>Datasets</dc:type><dc:coverage>Nepal</dc:coverage><dc:date>2024-09-30</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
