Title
Satellite detected water extents in Nampula Province, Mozambique as of 13 March 2022
Description
**UNOSAT code: TC20220311MOZ** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Mossuril, Mogincual and Liúpo Districts, Nampula Province, Mozambique as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 13 February 2022 at 17:44 local time. Within the analyzed area of about 14,000 km2, about 110 km2 of lands appear to be flooded. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 12,000 people are potentially 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 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 backscattering properties of the radar signal.
