Title
Satellite detected water extent along the Mazaruni river as of 09 June 2021, Region 7 - Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Guyana
Description
**UNOSAT code: FL20210520GUY** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters along the Mazaruni river in Cuyuni-Mazaruni Region of Guyana as observed from RCM-2 radar image acquired on 09 June 2021 at 22:17 UTC. Within the analyzed area of about 700 km2, a total of about 4 km2 of lands were observed as flooded. This is a preliminary analysis that has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-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 backscattering properties of the radar signal.
